Boiler Pros & Cons

While boilers are a reliable, long-lasting option to heat your business, it’s important to consider all aspects of boiler heating before making such an important investment. PHD Heating & Cooling can help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of boilers according to your specific needs, but here are some general pros and cons:

Pro: Improved air quality – Since boilers do not work by forcing air through ductwork, they do not circulate allergens, chemicals, and dust throughout your building.
Pro: More even heating – Hot air rises, which means that forced air heating systems often heat buildings unevenly. Boilers keep surfaces warm instead of the air, leading to more even heating in your facility.
Pro: Longer life span – Boilers require fewer mechanical repairs and often outlast furnaces by many years.
Con: Higher installation & maintenance costs – The upfront cost of installing a boiler is often higher than that of a furnace. And although they present fewer mechanical issues, a boiler repair is, on average, more expensive than a repair on a furnace.
Con: Water leaks – Although infrequent, it is possible for your boiler to leak. In a large building a leak could go unnoticed for a while, potentially causing property damage. PHD Heating & Cooling offers maintenance contracts to ensure that your boiler stays in good shape, making leaks far less likely.
Con: Heating only – Boilers are very good at providing heat, but that is all they do. You’ll still need ductwork for your cooling needs.

During Chicagoland harsh winters, you or your business needs reliable heating that cuts costs without sacrificing comfort for your customers and employees.

Signs You Need to Repair Your Boiler

Sometimes, your boiler malfunctions noticeably. Other times, problems are harder to spot. By knowing when to call a commercial boiler technician, you can potentially save hundreds of dollars or more by avoiding higher operating costs, more in-depth repairs, or even a boiler replacement. Keep an eye out for these signs:

Yellow burner flame: Natural gas boilers should have a steady blue flame, not a flickering yellow one. If you notice this problem, don’t take it lightly, as it could indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
Odd sounds: While commercial boilers don’t operate noiselessly, you’re bound to notice if it starts sounding louder than usual. This is a sign you should act fast before the source of the noise turns into something more serious.
Strange smells: Burning or foul odors coming from your boiler indicate improper combustion. Take these smells seriously to avoid putting your employees and building at risk.
Sluggish operation: If your industrial boiler fails to heat up as quickly as it used to, it may be time for a repair!
Increased operating costs: Rising energy prices are sometimes the reason for higher heating expenses, but it’s also possible that your boiler is simply performing poorly. A quick once-over from a knowledgeable repair technician will reveal what’s wrong.
