I have lived with a boiler in my home for quite some time! The boiler was hooked up to my baseboards to create even more heating in my home… I am not going to lie, I am not a fan of baseboard heating.
I feel it looks ugly in addition to not working that well.
Thankfully I found a way to utilize my boiler more effectively. I had it in my head that I wanted to redo my flooring. I started ripping up the aged carpet in addition to picking out a gray, porcelain tile. I had already bought all the tile, brick board, mastic, in addition to screws. I had ripped out the carpet, laid my brick board in addition to being ready to brick when I did some extra research. I stumbled upon hydronic heating, then apparently all you need to do is have piping hooked to your boiler in addition to laid over the brick board. The boiler heats water that flows through the pipes to create heated flooring. This hydronic heater is quiet in operation in addition to not stirring up dust or creating cold spots due to it being water in addition to not forced air. Another pro is that the heater is hidden under the tile. It won’t sustain any detriment or wear in addition to tears. The heat flooring also warms anything touching it; So the couch, loveseat, in addition to chairs all feel heated as a result. It lasts a long time in addition to frees up space. I was instantly on the phone with my heating company to have my baseboard heating changed to a hydronic heater. It is such a better heater.
