Boilers

Boilers power hydronic heating and domestic hot water systems with quiet, even comfort and strong energy savings and reliability. Whether you run radiators, baseboards, or radiant floor loops, a modern boiler can deliver stable temperatures, zoned control, and high efficiency—especially with condensing technology that captures more heat from exhaust. Boilers also pair well with indirect water heaters and snow-melt systems, making them a dependable cornerstone for year-round comfort.

Popular types include combi units (heat and hot water in one), system boilers with integrated components, and conventional heat-only models. Fuel options span natural gas, propane, oil, electric, and biomass. Key specs to consider are BTU output, turndown ratio, AFUE, and venting category. Features like outdoor reset, modulating burners, and smart thermostat compatibility boost performance and lower operating costs.

This Boilers category features tools for installation, commissioning, and repair: pipe cutters, press tools, soldering and brazing gear; manifolds and crimpers for PEX; circulation pumps and isolation valves; power-flush machines; combustion analyzers and manometers; leak detectors and CO meters; water test kits, scale removers, inhibitors, magnetic filters, and condensate neutralizers; borescopes, tube brushes, and gasket kits. You’ll also see parts and accessories like expansion tanks, air separators, mixing valves, and smart controls.

To pick the right boiler and toolkit, match capacity to your heat load, verify code and venting requirements, and plan for water quality management to protect the heat exchanger. Schedule annual maintenance: analyze combustion, check pressure and draft, inspect flue, flush sludge, clean strainers, verify safety devices, bleed air, and confirm pressure. Keep documentation for warranties and look for rebates rewarding high-efficiency upgrades.

Whether you’re an HVAC technician, plumber, or hands-on homeowner, this directory streamlines boiler installation, maintenance, and repair. Explore hydronic heating tools, condensing boiler accessories, and diagnostics that help you deliver reliable heat, hot water, and lower utility bills.
