How does an electric boiler works?
Often connected to a heating network, the electric boiler is working in a closed circuit. This means that the water leaves the boilers, goes through the heating distribution network and goes back to the boiler. So, the water never leaves this circuit. The boilers works by heat accumulation by pressure process: the circuit must be filled with water permanently so the hydraulic environment remains as uniform as possible (this is why you have to purge your heating distributing system once in a while to let the air go.). The boiler heats the water with internal electric resistance: this heated water is also propelled in the circuit by a pressure valve.
What are the advantages of an electric boiler?
The electric boiler has this great advantage not to need any combustible tank, so it does not need much space for installation. In addition, it gives a quick heating that spreads rapidly in the house. It provides a comfortable and uniform heat everywhere in your home during winter. It is one of the greenest ways of heating because it does not release any polluting particles in the atmosphere and remains quieter than a natural gas boiler. Also, the electric boiler uses a clean and renewable source, electricity, to produce heat. Finally, it is a heating system that is not too expensive and does not require the installation of a duct system or a chimney.
How does a natural gas boiler works?
The working process of the natural gas boiler is rather simple. The natural gas is burned in the boiler and the heat is transmitted to a heating body or “heating transmitter”. It is used to heat the water or air that is after transmitted by a ductwork that brings the heat in the heating distributing system. The water’s heat is then released in the air and the water goes back to its point of origin to start the heating cycle over.
What are the advantages of a natural gas boiler?
First of all, the natural gas is one of the most eco-friendly, reliable and safe energy sources that exist. With electricity, it remains one of the most used energy sources in the world and heats 180,000 homes, businesses and companies in Quebec only. A boiled fueled with natural gas transmits the heating quicker, without you worrying about any power outage. By choosing a natural gas boiler, you opt for an easy management of your energy consumption. A natural gas boiler’s installation with high energy efficiency allows you to save a lot of energy, thus, save on your energy bills. If you replace your current boiler by a natural gas system with high energy efficiency, you can save up to 20 % on energy. As we mentioned it before, natural gas is the cleanest fossil combustible you can have because it does not contribute to the smog and acid rain phenomenon. Like the human who breathes, natural gas emanates carbon dioxide and steam when burning. By choosing a natural gas boiler instead of an oil boiler, you will contribute to reducing the greenhouse emissions by up to 30%.
How does a propane boiler works?
The propane boiler works by gas combustion with a sufficient oxygen input to produce heat. The thermal energy is then carried in the heating distributing system to fuel the heat. The propane boilers require the installation of a storage tanks, most of the time, outside the house.
What are the advantages of a propane boiler?
One of the main advantages of the propane boiler is the availability of the energy source. The propane is submitted to very strict standards regarding transport and storage. The Canadian propane production represents 3,5% of the worldwide propane production. Also, production and use of propane in a boiler are also submitted to rules and very strict standards. Modern conception makes them safer and more reliable devices. The propane’s combustion is also considered as slightly damaging for the environment; it produces little to no carbon monoxide and very little particles (soot). Like the natural gas boiler, the propane boiler provides a comfortable and enveloping heat that quickly spreads in the house. During power outage, you can also benefit from the heat produced by your propane boiler
How does an oil boiler works?
Consisting of a forced air burner and an air exchanger, the oil boiler is fueled with combustible and outdoor air. First, the forced air burner allows a cleaner combustion and the air exchanger recovers fumes’ heat produced by the combustion. This heat is absorbed and transported by water. This same water will heat up your home, using your heat distributing system.
What are the advantages of an oil boiler?
The first quality of an oil boiler is the comfort it provides. Like the other fossil fuels, the heat provided by the oil boiler is transmitted a lot quicker in each room for your comfort and well-being. Also, the constant evolution of the heating systems’ technology allows the manufacturers to build safer and more efficient oil boilers. You can also combine your oil boiler with an electric heating system like a heat pump, to benefit from the dual energy fee. If you replace your current oil boiler by an Energy-Star approved oil boiler, with high energy efficiency, you can save up between 25 % and 35 % on your energy bill.
How does a hot water boiler works?
The hot water boiler, or hydronic boiler, is one of the most used heating systems in Quebec. Usually fueled with electricity, you can find it as a wall iron box in basements or mechanical rooms in homes. Its functioning is rather easy: it heats the waters with electric resistances; this heated water goes through a distributing network. The operation process is the same as an electric kettle. Hot water goes through the air duct network that transmits the heat everywhere in your home via electric radiators.
What are the advantages of an electric boiler?
The benefits of having a hot water boiler as a heating system are numerous. First, by choosing a hot water boiler model that is Energy-Star approved, not only will it be more energy efficient, but you will also save up to 20% on your heating bills. Also, the heat produced by this type of boiler is uniform, pleasant and constant; you will never feel any drastic temperature variation, regardless of where you are in the house. The hydronic boiler is also a very quiet heating system. It uses a clean and renewable source, water, to heat your home. Its installation cost is relatively low and this device’s life span can last up to 20 years if maintained properly.
We have to specify that the calculations we use nowadays are not only considering heat losses, but also recent data about the climate. You can demand explanations about the calculation. This procedure can appear to be unnecessary but after, you will have a clearer idea of your boiler’s capacity, and your home will be more comfortable and you will avoid wasting money and energy.

With appropriate maintenance and repair, a boiler can last up to 25 years. This data can vary depending on the use and frequency of maintenance done.
A condensing boiler has this particularity to recover the heat produced by the steam contained in the combustion particles of natural gas. In a standard boiler, there are some heat losses since fumes and steam contained in these fumes go in the atmosphere. The condensing boiler has the advantage of recovering a part of this thermal energy by condensing the steam exhaust fumes. This steam goes through an exchanger condenser: the steam sublimes in water and frees heat that is transmitted in the hot water network in your home. This type of boiler avoids the heat losses, because she takes the maximum from natural gas. This high efficiency allows a minimal energy consumption and make you save a lot of money on your energy bills.
Using a condensing boiler allows you to increase the energy efficiency of approximately 20% compared to a standard boiler. It also gives you the possibility to save up to 30% compared to a boiler that is more than 15 years old, 15% to 20% of savings compared to a recent boiler and finally, 5% compared to a low-temperature boiler. This type of installation is very respectful towards the environment and represents a considerable saving of fuel, thus, less emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere.
Before the first days of winter, it is crucial that you require the services of a Tran Climatisation technician so that he can perform maintenance and an annual inspection on your boiler.
When the time comes to replace your boiler, the environmental question remains an important factor that can tip the scale for one or the other models. Even with the constant evolution of technology converges towards a more eco-friendly conception, it is important to know about the environmental impact that all the energy sources have on the environment.
Generally speaking, the boiler is a relatively quiet heating system. If you think that your boiler is too noisy, ask a Tran Climatisation’s technician to come over to inspect it. Noise can be a symptom of a more important problem or a defective part; do not wait until your boiler ceases to function. An inspection done by a specialized technician is a cheap and guaranteed solution that gives you peace of mind and to continue to benefit from its comfort for years to come.
Nowadays, most boilers are Energy Star approved, so, it consumes from 20% to 30% less energy than an older boiler. This energy saving will also melt your energy up to 25%.
Generally speaking, there are no restrictions concerning the place where you should install your boiler. The boiler requires only the installation of an air exhaust and an outdoor chimney and must meet the requirements relating to the building regulations.
