Boiler heat in Indiana
Boilers are less common in Indiana 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 5 winters, a boiler that stops in Indiana 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.
Lake-effect snow in the northwest and long gray stretches below freezing keep furnaces running for months.
