Boilers provide some of the most consistent and comfortable home heating available—and BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is your trusted source for installation, service, and maintenance.
Whether you’re heating with baseboards, radiators, or radiant flooring, a properly installed and maintained boiler system can deliver decades of clean, even warmth with fewer temperature swings and no ductwork required.
What Is a Boiler Heating System?
Unlike forced-air systems, which use fans and ductwork to move heated air, boilers distribute heat using hot water or steam. Here’s how they work:
- A boiler heats water using gas, oil, or electricity.
- The heated water (or steam) circulates through a closed-loop system of pipes.
- Heat is delivered to rooms via radiators, baseboards, or in-floor tubing.
- The water returns to the boiler to be reheated.
Boilers don’t blow air, which makes them a great option for homeowners sensitive to airborne dust and allergens.
Types of Boilers We Work With
We install and service all major boiler systems, including:
- Gas Boilers – Fueled by natural gas or propane. Available in both standard and condensing (high-efficiency) models.
- Oil Boilers – Often found in rural areas or older homes. Provide powerful heat and may require more frequent maintenance.
- Electric Boilers – Clean and compact. Often used in smaller homes or where fossil fuels are unavailable.
- Steam Boilers – Heat water to produce steam, which rises naturally through pipes to heat radiators.
- Hot Water Boilers (Hydronic) – The most common residential system. Offers efficient, quiet, and even heat.
- Condensing Boilers – Capture and reuse heat from exhaust gases to reach efficiencies above 90%.
We help you choose the right type of boiler based on your home’s size, layout, fuel availability, and existing heat distribution system.
