A boiler heating system in Toronto operates using natural gas, oil, electricity, or propane to ignite a combustion chamber or pilot, heating water inside the boiler chamber. The hot water then circulates through pipes to the home’s distribution system, such as iron radiators, copper fin baseboards, air handlers, or in-floor radiant heating. If you plan to connect a boiler to existing ductwork, you’ll need an air handler installation to distribute warm air throughout your home. For homeowners using radiators or in-floor heating who also want air conditioning in the summer, a ductless mini-split system is an excellent option. A complete boiler system includes a burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, electrical components, controls, and a flue. To ensure top performance, schedule annual boiler maintenance in the GTA with an Afrusun licensed HVAC technician.
Boiler efficiency plays a critical role in selecting the right unit for your home. The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating measures how efficient a boiler performs in a year. Homeowners in Toronto should select boilers with at least 92% AFUE to balance monthly energy savings with upfront cost. Factors influencing your choice include the heat distribution method, available space, size and age of the home, number of bathrooms, and hot water demand. Boilers are sized by BTU output, and an HVAC professional will perform a detailed heat loss and gain calculation to recommend the ideal system. Choosing the wrong size can reduce efficiency and increase operating costs. Professional boiler and furnace installation by Afrusun ensures your system is properly sized and optimized for long-term performance.
