Boilers keep your home warm by heating up water and then distributing the hot water or steam through pipes and radiators. They can also provide hot water to your faucets for showering, washing dishes, and other everyday tasks. A boiler may have a separate tank to store hot water (indirect fired water heater) or it may be a more compact unit known as a combination boiler.
At RSC Heating & Air Conditioning, we service and repair all types of boilers. We can also install a new boiler for you in Lancaster, York, and surrounding areas.
Benefits of Boilers
Boilers have many advantages over other heating systems, including:
- Greater efficiency than forced-air heating systems
- Better distribution of heat for increased comfort
- Quieter operation
A boiler can provide the heat you need for Pennsylvania’s harsh winters.

Boiler Installation
When it comes time to replace your boiler, our experienced comfort consultants can help you choose the right model for your home. We often help homeowners convert to a different type of system, typically from oil to natural gas or propane. We can advise you on the best solution for maximum comfort and efficiency.
Signs Your Boiler Needs to Be Replaced
If your boiler struggles to supply hot water and heat or needs frequent repairs, or you have noticed higher energy bills, these are all signs it may be time to replace your boiler. Boilers typically last 15 to 20 years. Newer models tend to be more efficient, so you can often save money on your heating bills by replacing the unit.
