Boiler heat in South Dakota
Boilers are less common in South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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.
Blizzards and arctic air bring long stretches of below-zero temperatures.
