10 Things to Consider When Buying Wall Mounted Condensing Gas Boiler

of God's Country when it comes to hydronics...

Yes, wall hung condensing boilers are quite reliable and become moreso. The first and second learning curves are done, technology and materials have caught up with the process.

There are as many adherents to their favorite brands as there are brands. Any and all must be suitably sized and selected for the heat load of your home (or domestic HW if it is greater). All must enjoy a proper installation by a contractor who cares enough to service you. As to finding a professional to install one, try....Find a Professional above on this page and type in your zip code.

As for brands, as stated, it is who sells and installs. But because you asked, I would say the best is Viessmann (Vitodens) with Buderus, NTI, Weil-McLain Ultra, Lochinvar Knight and others rounding out the pack. There are others of course, this is just the roughest quick, top of my head list I could come up with...

I look back at years of specifying the best equipment over the years and shake my head at what can be done with efficiencies today... incredible.

Steam Radiators
Steam heating is one of the oldest heating technologies, and upright metal steam radiators positioned along walls in older homes are common. They can provide consistent, comfortable heat.

Steam radiators need some simple maintenance to work properly and efficiently. In addition, a radiator can warp or create a groove in the floor. If that happens, the radiator may tilt, causing it to make loud banging noises. Plus, steam radiators on exterior walls can radiate some heat to the outdoors, and limit your ability to position furniture around the room.

Hot Water Radiators
More common in newer homes, hot water radiators run along a room&#;s baseboard or stand upright like a steam radiator. Hot water radiators can reduce your home&#;s energy consumption because they allow you to control the temperature of each floor or a large space. A heating professional can install automatic valves on the radiators, and connect them to separate thermostats.

The most common problem with hot water radiators is unwanted air in the system. Plus, like steam models, upright hot water radiators can limit your ability to position furniture.

Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating
Hydronic (water) systems are the most common radiant floor heating systems. A boiler heats water and flows it to tubing under the flooring, which acts as a giant radiator. Hydronic systems can heat a whole house, but they&#;re mainly used to heat a single room or area, and some can be zoned so thermostats regulate each space.

Hydronic radiant heating is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating, too. It also doesn&#;t distribute allergens like forced-air systems can, and uses little electricity. However, hydronic systems can be expensive to install and to repair, and may not be as efficient if the floor is covered with thick carpeting.
