How a Gas Boiler works
How a gas boiler works
Gone are the days when you had to chop wood endlessly in order to heat just one single room in your home. With today’s new heating systems that use a gas boiler, you are able to heat your home without all the work that older systems had to deal with.
A gas boiler located in your home is supplied with flammable gas from your local gas utility provider. This boiler is filled with hot water from your home, usually from a hot water tank located in your home. This is the same hot water thank that heats the water that comes out of the tap when you turn it on. In order to keep this water hot though, gas is burned and it keeps the water in your gas boiler hot so that it can be distributed throughout the house in pipes.
Most heating systems have thermostats so that when the temperature in the house goes up or down, the heating system responds. With a gas boiler, the water being stored in the boiler itself will cool down and so quite regularly, the gas will ignite once again automatically to make sure that this water stays very hot so it’s ready to heat the home.
