They look similar but have different purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/philadelphia-area\/water-heaters\/\">Water heaters<\/a>\u00a0heat potable water for personal use, such as washing dishes, showering, bathing, drinking, and cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Boilers heat non-potable water and distribute the water vapor throughout the home through radiators or baseboard heating to provide even, reliable heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">Are boilers efficient?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Yes, but your boiler&#8217;s efficiency largely depends on the type of fuel source it uses. ENERGY STAR\u00ae-certified boilers must meet these efficiency requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Natural gas boilers:<\/strong> 90% AFUE or greater<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil boilers: <\/strong>87% AFUE or greater<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electric boilers: <\/strong>95% or greater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">What&#8217;s the best boiler temperature?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>The optimal boiler temperature is between 140 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This range will keep your home sufficiently warm and your system running optimally.<\/p>\n<p>If your boiler temperature is too low, you risk bacteria growth in the water. If it&#8217;s too high, you risk your boiler overheating, which can lead to leaks and breakdowns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\">What is boiler kettling?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Boiler kettling refers to the whistling, popping, and bubbling sounds that can come from a boiler with these issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leaks:<\/strong> If you hear boiler kettling, first check for leaks. If you notice one, schedule a professional boiler repair immediately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overheating:<\/strong> As boilers age, they tend to have problems with overheating and kettling. If your system is approaching the end of its lifespan, it&#8217;s time for a boiler replacement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limescale buildup:<\/strong> If you have hard water, your boiler can have a problem with limescale buildup on its heat exchanger. Over time, this will cause water restriction and overheating. You may need to replace your boiler&#8217;s heat exchanger to resolve this. You should also consider <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/philadelphia-area\/wells\/water-treatment-testing\/\">installing a whole-home water softener<\/a> to mitigate the effects of hard water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proudly Serving Montgomery &amp; Bucks Counties You shouldn&#8217;t have to deal with a cold home because of a faulty heating system.
