Today’s heating oil hot water systems offer many options that have evolved with comfort, affordability, and efficiency as the driving forces.

In floor radiant heat and standard baseboard are what C.E. Kiff primarily installs. A boiler may be installed as a stand alone heating unit or it can be better utilized as the home’s heating unit and the source for domestic hot water for showers and dish washing. The versatility of today’s hot water system is unlimited. We can even install towel warmers to keep your towels warm while they wait outside your steamy oil heated shower. And remember with an oil heated home you won’t ever have cold feet – thanks to in floor radiant heat.

Oil heat boilers have incorporated many advancements to continue to make them as efficient as possible. Zoning a heating system is one way that C.E. Kiff installs boilers. Zoning only sends heat to the necessary room(s) when the thermostat signals that it needs it rather than heating all of the house only if the bathroom needs it. The Biasi boiler is a triple pass boiler instead of a single pass boiler. A triple pass boiler has three times the surface area to absorb the heat from the oil before putting it up the chimney as opposed to a single pass boiler where the heat went through the boiler one time and then most of your heat went up the chimney and out of the house. The triple pass boiler can also be setup to shut off when there isn’t a heat call or hot water need and save you on your fuel bill during the summer months significantly. A Biasi boiler can save you up to 30% on your annual fuel consumption.

The hot water boiler itself is quite simple. The oil burner burns the heating oil and produces 140,000 BTU’s (Compared to only 90,000 BTU’s from propane) as the heat passes through the boiler the water absorbs the heat and then is pumped throughout the home via the circulate pump.

For this project, we installed a Peerless boiler with 5 zones. The hot water is heated by the Peerless boiler indirectly, which is a very efficient use of boiler the heat.
