Boiler heat in Ohio
Ohio has a large stock of older homes and multi-family buildings with steam and hot-water boilers, many with cast-iron radiators that are decades old. Air vents, sight glasses, low-water cutoffs and pipe pitch problems are the everyday boiler calls here.
With IECC zone 5 winters, a boiler that stops in Ohio 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.
