Boilers
Boilers are the heating vessels used to create hot water or steam for hydronic baseboard, radiant heat or steam radiator heating systems in your home. A boiler can use a variety of fuels including natural gas, oil, propane or electricity.
Buderus heating systems provide more consistent, more comfortable heat using far less fuel than conventional high-temperature systems. The company's history dates back nearly 275 years, making Buderus a leader when it comes to manufacturing products that are energy efficient, user friendly, and environmentally sound.
Weil-McLain is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of gas- and oil-fired hot water and steam boilers for space heating in residential, commercial and institutional buildings. Founded in 1881 in Chicago by Isadora and Benjamin Weil, Weil-McLain was originally named Weil Brothers. In 1918, after acquiring a main supplier, J.H. McLain Company, the company was renamed Weil-McLain and boiler plant operations moved to Michigan City, Indiana.
Furnaces
Furnaces are the units that heat and circulate warm air through your home, and distribute that air through a network of ducts. The heating ability of a furnace is gauged with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. A higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.
Most home comfort systems have two parts: an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump, and an indoor unit, a furnace. Furnaces heat and circulate warm air in the winter. They also take cool air from the outdoor unit and circulate it through your home in summer. The indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the furnace is properly matched with a heat pump or air conditioner, you enjoy maximum efficiency and extended system life. Furnace heating ability is measured with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. A higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.
Designed to deliver reliable and economical warmth, Lennox® furnaces have efficiency ratings from 80% all the way up to 95% AFUE. And many are ENERGY STAR® qualified, which means they can significantly lower your utility bills, compared to conventional models. For optimal comfort and efficiency, a gas furnace can be combined with an electric heat pump in one dual-fuel system.

Radiant Heat
Radiant floor heat provides numerous benefits, including increased comfort, even temperatures, cleaner air, no cold drafts, no unsightly ductwork and no floor vents, all while being quieter and more energy-efficient compared to forced-air heat.In a radiant floor heating system, warm water flows through tubes located underneath the floors. That warmth radiates up from the floors and warms everything it comes in contact with — including people.
And radiant is compatible under any type of floor covering — carpet, wood, slate, tile, linoleum, and even concrete — making design possibilities endless.
Clean: Because radiant doesn't use blowers, it doesn't circulate dirt, dust, pollutants or allergens throughout the home. Comfortable: Reaches every corner of the house. Even takes the chill out of kitchen, bathroom and lower level floors. Economical: Could reduce your heating bill dramatically. And saving energy is good for the environment. Guaranteed: When installed by an Uponor-trained professional the Uponor Radiant Heating System is guaranteed for 30 years. Practical: Uponor radiant floor heating concentrates the heat near the floor where you and your family can benefit from it. Versatile: Works with any kind of floor covering. Ideal for installations in concrete slabs: lower levels, basements and garages.
