Boiler and Hydronic Heating Service in Kitsap County
A boiler heats water and sends it through pipes to warm your home. Most of the time there are no ducts and no blowing air, just heat from baseboards, radiators, or tubing in the floor. Some hydronic systems work differently, using a hot water coil and an air handler to move warm air through the ducts in your home.
What a Boiler Is
Inside the boiler, a burner or element heats water. A pump circulates the hot water through your home’s pipes to the heat emitters in each room, then the cooler water returns to the boiler to be heated again. In most systems, the heat comes from warm surfaces instead of moving air, so many people find it even and quiet.
How Boilers Are Used in Homes Around Kitsap
You’ll find boilers across the Greater Kitsap area, especially in older homes that were built before heat pumps and ductless systems were common. The most common setups are:
-
Baseboard heating: Slim, water-filled units along the walls
-
Radiators: Cast-iron or panel units, often in older homes
-
Radiant floor heat: Tubing under the floor, common in additions, shops, and some newer builds
-
Heating-only boilers: The boiler only runs the heat
-
Combi boilers: One unit that provides both home heating and domestic hot water for your sinks and showers
The oldest boiler we’ve worked on dates to 1919 and is still running great.
