Boiler vs. Furnace: Which Heating System Fits You?

Homeowners often compare two major options for forced-warmth: boilers, which heat water that flows through radiators or in-floor systems, and furnaces, which heat air and distribute it through ducts.

Both can deliver efficient heating, but the “best” choice depends on how your home is built, what fuel you can access, and how you want your comfort to feel across the year.
