When it comes to boiler vs furnace - which one makes more sense, there are pros and cons to each. It really comes down to learning as much as you can about each and deciding which one better suits your needs and budget. With the advances in HVAC technology, both modern boilers and furnaces are energy efficient with Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) up to 98.5 percent.
Also known as water tanks, boilers like furnaces use electricity, gas or oil to generate heat. The major difference is that water tanks use water to transfer heat instead of air like furnaces. With a furnace, the air is pushed via a blower across heated coils where it is then delivered to the home through ductwork. Furnaces are also known as forced air systems and require filters to keep the air clean in the home. With proper maintenance, these systems can last up to 25 years.
Modern water tanks use less energy to heat up. These radiant heating systems transfer water to the radiators or baseboard heaters inside a house. Many consumers prefer water tanks to furnaces because this form of heat requires no ductwork. In addition, many consumers prefer boilers because of their ability to maintain comfortable humidity levels and even temperatures. Others prefer boilers because radiant floor heating can be added for a barefoot walk on warm floors. Boilers also don't turn on and off as much as furnaces do, since radiant heating systems can retain warmth much longer.
Even though today's furnaces come with variable speed blowers to reduce noise, water tanks operate silently. More pros for boilers include zone control and clean air. Since boilers don't blow allergens and dust in the home, the indoor air quality is better. With zone control, temperatures in individual rooms can be set higher or lower. This improves comfort levels along with reducing energy expenses.
With all that being said, you may wonder why boilers aren't the standard in most homes. The answer is probably the cost. Boilers are much more expensive than furnaces. For many, deciding whether to install a boiler or furnace may come down to initial cost. For those who are more concerned with energy efficiency and indoor air quality, some features of boilers might make it well worth the additional expense.

When choosing finishes for a home, this question comes up time and time again. Our clients are always wondering which is better, granite or quartz. And like many things we compare, it depends on what you're looking for, what your priorities are. Check out this article below by Ryan Reed as he lays out the differences between the two materials.
There are few design elements that spark heated debate and divide homeowners as much as granite and quartz. Don’t believe me? Tune into any episode of House Hunters and you’ll likely hear the prospective buyer/renter wax poetic about their preferred countertop material and shun the other vehemently. But is one really better than the other or is it merely a matter of aesthetics?
To help break down the granite vs. quartz quandary, we came up with five categories to help show the differences between the two. At the end of this article, you can vote for which one you prefer. Before we get into all of that though, what exactly is granite and quartz?
Granite is a very hard stone and 100 percent natural. It’s mined from quarries all around the world, cut down to a manageable size, and then polished to a fine finish.
Quartz is slightly different in that it is not 100 percent natural. Instead, countertops are manufactured using 95 percent ground natural quartz and 5 percent polymer resins.
Now that you know the basics, let's see how they compare against each other.
Granite
Granite comes in many different colors and patterns due to the way it’s formed (cooling and solidifying of molten materials). Whether you’re looking for a subtle complement to your kitchen or a standout slab with unique mineral inclusions, there is an almost limitless selection to choose from and no two granite countertops are the same.
Quartz
One of the main reasons quartz has exploded in popularity is due to appearance. Quartz has the look of stone while also allowing homeowners to customize the design. While granite offers many options in terms of appearance, you may have to search for the right piece that matches your color scheme. With quartz, the selection process is much easier.
Granite
According to HomeAdviser.com, the average cost to purchase granite and have it installed can cost between $2,000 and $4,000. You can save money by purchasing the material from a wholesaler and doing some of the preliminary work yourself but the actual fabrication and installation of the countertops should be left to a professional.
Quartz
Depending on the quality of quartz and style of edging, HomeAdvisor.com places the average cost to install quartz countertops between $1,500 and $5,500. You can do some of the preliminary work to save money, but because engineered quartz is heavier than other stone surfaces, a professional installer needs to make sure the space is structurally sound.
Granite
The only way granite ends up in your kitchen is if it’s quarried and that uses a lot of energy. If you opt for a high-end slab from Italy, for example, there will be considerable transportation involved. Try using indigenous stone when possible or visit salvage shops for pieces that can be cut to fit your needs.
Quartz
Since quartz is engineered, it can be more environmentally-friendly than granite if you use regionally manufactured stone and local fabricators. This cuts down on the distance the material needs to be transported.
Granite
Granite countertops should be cleaned daily with soap and water or a mild household cleaner. Some oils and acids can stain so do your homework first to avoid stains. To ensure the longevity of your investment, consider having your countertops resealed once a year.
Quartz
Like granite, you’ll want to clean any spills on quartz countertops with soap and water or a household cleaner, but that’s about it in terms of maintenance. The solid surface means that there is no need to have your countertops resealed.
Granite
Granite is a durable material that’s resistant to heat and many other kitchen elements. Due to its porous nature though, there can be some staining if spilled liquids are left sitting and damage can be done if your counter receives a high impact blow.
Quartz
Quartz is actually harder than granite and thus, more durable. In fact, quartz is nearly indestructible, and because it isn’t porous like granite, it’s easy to keep your countertops relatively bacteria-free. Be careful with cooking pans though: Quartz can be damaged by excessive heat, so use heating pads at all times.
Like I stated in the beginning, it depends on what you're looking for. Either way, you're sure to end up with a gorgeous countertop that you'll fall in love with.
