Massachusetts is a colder part for sure, our Spring is more of a rainy, chilly mess.
Our fall season is brisk and could have snow come in.
Our winter season season is long, chilly and brutal! Snow and ice are proper in our neighborhood of Lowell; That is why it is so imperative to have a fantastic working heater, i recently invested in getting a boiler system for the house. I was sick of using a boiler that would leave hot and chilly spots. I didn’t like that it wasn’t powerful enough to keep most people toasty… A boiler system is entirely fancy however worth it if you live in Lowell. This boiler 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; With hydronic heating you aren’t burning and churning fuel. It is cheaper, cleaner, and there is no stratification, but no heat is rising to the ceiling to get wasted and there are no chilly spots to touch on the floor… Every spot is heated evenly, you also get a silent boiler 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, and my boiler has the power and I know a Lowell, MA Heating and Air Conditioning contractor that would do the task. I just don’t know if my associate and I get quite enough snow to warrant the price tag on it.
