Evanston, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2018 -- There are warm homes and then there are cozy homes. the cozy homes—the ones that always manage to feel just right no matter how cold it is outside.

But what gives a home that cozy feel? Many times, it all boils down to the type of heating. Hot water heating provides a level of warmth and comfort that forced-air furnaces cannot match. For homeowners who seek the coziest of homes this winter, American Vintage Home offers boiler installation services in Evanston, IL, and across the Chicago North Shore.

Compared to furnaces, hot water heating provides longer lasting heat. Radiators add hours worth of heat because they retain heat from the water in them. Even when the system turns off, it will still provide warmth for the next three to four hours. This differs from forced-air furnaces, which provide little to no carryover heat and result in drafty homes.

Forced air, no matter how warm, doesn't feel cozy. The air movement alone can cause a person to feel cool instead of warm. Hot water heating takes forced air out of the equation. Since there's no breeze to reckon with, the home will actually feel warmer at a lower temperature. In addition, boilers operate more quietly than furnaces and are better for indoor air quality because there's no ductwork to circulate debris.

For homes that already utilize forced-air heating, there is another solution. Radiant in-floor heating essentially turns the floor into one giant radiator, warming all of the surfaces in the room. This type of heating is very efficient and provides consistent comfort from floor to ceiling.
