Massachusetts is a colder part for sure.
Our Spring is more of a rainy, cold mess.
Our fall season is brisk and could have snow come in. Our winter time season is long, cold and brutal, snow and ice are usual in our city of Lowell, then that is why it is so imperative to have a enjoyable laboring furnace. I recently invested in getting a boiler system for the house. I was sick of using a furnace that would leave warm and cold spots. I didn’t like that it wasn’t powerful enough to keep everyone toasty, but a boiler system is entirely costly but worth it if you live in Lowell. This heating system sits in my basement and is hooked up to piping. The piping runs within the floors of my entire household. The boiler heats water that then flows through the pipes to create a heating effect, and with hydronic heating you aren’t burning and churning fuel. It is cheaper, cleaner, and there is no stratification, then no heat is rising to the ceiling to get wasted and there are no cold spots to touch on the floor; Every spot is heated evenly, but you also get a silent furnace since it is water based as well. Another pro is that the heated flooring can even extend to the driveway. I have debated on making it a snowmelt system as well; My boiler has the power and I know a Lowell, MA HVAC business that would do the job. I just don’t know if my enjoyable friend and I get quite enough snow to warrant the price tag on it.
