There are different types of central heating boiler systems that can be purchased for residential homes. The biggest difference between the various types of central heating boiler systems is the type of fuels they use to operate on. Knowing what type of fuel connections you will need to be ready to make before you begin the installation process will save you time and trips to the hardware supply center.
A central heating boiler system may be a system for heating the water for the home and it may be a system that heats the air in the home. You may also have a system that controls the heat for water and air both. Most of the time, the manufacturer of the product will recommend that you hire a professional installation technician in order for your warranty on your new system to be valid.
If you choose to not hire a professional installation technician when you buy a new central heating boiler then make sure you read the manufacturer guidelines and have the proper tools and equipment to install the device. You want to read the instructions and you want to make certain that you know how to do all of the things required before you begin.
Some systems are hooked up to copper tubing to allow the water to enter the holding tank and exit the holding tank. In order to connect copper tubing you will need a flaring tool and you will need to know how to use the device. Other systems connect PVC pipe with the use of connectors and glue. These systems are slightly easier for the untrained person to install, but they still require that you know what pipe to buy, what fittings to buy, and how to use the cleaner and glue to connect them. Hot water PVC pipe is different from the cold water PVC and you may need to increase or reduce the size of the piping in order to join it to your household piping pieces.
A central heating boiler that heats the air in the house and the water for the house will more than likely have to have thermostats installed in some areas of the house to determine the temperature in the rooms. The connecting of thermostat controls and other electrical elements should really not be done without a licensed electrician present. You may think you are saving money by installing these items for yourself, but there is a big chance that if you do something wrong you will cause a short that could burn down your home. Never take shortcuts where your safety and the safety of your home are concerned.
A central heating boiler that has no storage tank for the water will have the cold water enter the device through the main water limes for the house, and these devices work by heating the water on demand when a faucet is turned on in the house. There is never a shortage of hot water when you have one of these devices.
