Boiler heat in Idaho
Boilers are less common in Idaho than forced-air systems, which makes finding a technician with hydronic experience more important. Radiant floor heating and high-efficiency combi boilers are the usual boiler installs in newer homes.
With IECC zone 6 winters, a boiler that stops in Idaho also puts its own piping at risk. Baseboard loops along exterior walls can freeze and split. Glycol protection is worth asking about for vacation homes and zones over unheated spaces.
Inversions trap cold air in valleys for weeks, and the northern panhandle gets lake-effect style snow.
