A Guide to the Difference Between a Furnace and a Boiler — Problem Solved Plumbing & Heating, Cochrane

Furnaces and boilers both heat your home, but they do it differently. Knowing the differences helps you make better decisions about repairs and upgrades.

Key differences

  • Furnaces heat air; boilers heat water
  • Boilers use radiators or in-floor loops
  • Furnaces warm faster; boilers feel more even

We can help you maintain or replace either system.
