Homeowners sometimes struggle to understand which heating system is right for their space and how to run them efficiently. Especially with older homes, boilers and steam systems can be a pain. What should you know before repairing, replacing, or maintaining these systems?

According to heating expert Anthony Mound, the first step is understanding the age and design of your existing system before making big decisions. He emphasizes sizing equipment correctly, maintaining boilers regularly, and addressing water quality early to extend a system's lifespan. Anthony also encourages homeowners to replace aging components around a boiler instead of only replacing the unit to prevent future failures.

In this episode of Everyday Comfort, Chad Franzen of Rise25 hosts Anthony Mound, Owner of Trust 1 Services, to discuss boiler care and replacement. He discusses key differences between boilers and furnaces, how water quality affects system longevity, and how proper maintenance prevents expensive repairs.
