Boiler heat in Kentucky
Boilers are less common in Kentucky 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.
In Kentucky's milder winters, boilers can sit idle for long stretches, and circulators may seize at the start of the season. Exercising the system in early fall helps.
Freezing rain and ice storms are the recurring problem, especially in the west and along the Ohio River.
