What is an Oil Boiler?
An oil-fired boiler combusts heating oil within a sealed chamber, transferring heat to water inside the heat exchanger. This warm water flows through radiators, baseboard units, or in-floor radiant loops, delivering even, high-output warmth. Many oil boilers also heat domestic water via an indirect storage tank or built-in coil, consolidating space and water heating in one system. In regions without pipeline gas, residents appreciate the dependable, high-BTU output that oil provides during severe cold snaps.
