Boiler and Radiant Heat in Denver Homes
If your older Denver home is warmed by radiators or in-floor heat rather than vents, you have a boiler, and keeping it healthy is what gets you through the coldest months.
How the system works
A boiler heats water and circulates it through radiators, baseboards or in-floor tubing, warming the home by radiant heat rather than blown air. It is quiet, even and well suited to Denver winters.
The system depends on circulator pumps, valves, an expansion tank and the right pressure to run efficiently.
Signs of trouble
Watch for uneven heat between rooms, banging or gurgling in the pipes, a pressure gauge reading outside the normal range, and visible leaks or rust around the boiler.
A boiler that short-cycles or will not hold temperature needs attention before deep winter.
Keeping it reliable
An annual service before the cold checks pressure, bleeds air from the system, and inspects pumps and valves so small issues do not become a January no-heat call.
When replacement makes sense, a properly sized modern boiler runs more efficiently and pairs well with existing radiant systems.
