What is the best fuel for a hot water boiler heating system gas or fuel oil?

Gas is cheaper to maintain, burns cleaner, but is more explosive if it leaks. I would also base the final decision on how many heating days the area averages, fuel oil tends to be a bit cheaper by the gallon, if I remember correctly.
Aacturally for the hot water boiler or horizontal hot water boilers , we can charge it by electric , it is more convenient,It is equipped with advanced touch screen controller, digital prosecution system to achieve automatic control of boiler operation, Zhangjiagang Wilford thermal Co,.ltd is committed to be the expert of this field.

Why does the water pressure on your boiler fall every night causing the central heating to fail and go off?
The immediate possibility - is a leak in the system somewhere. If the system is leak-proof, the pressure should remain constant - no matter what time of day it is. The only time there should be a pressure difference - is when the boiler is running. Your best solution - would be to get your system checked by a qualified service technician.
What is the difference between a condensing central heating boiler and a combination boiler?
A combination boiler can use one of two different fuels to heat the water. Common combinations include natural gas/propane and oil, or wood and oil combinations. A condensing boiler uses a secondary heat exchanger to condense water vapour (steam) in the products of combustion down to water. Here's what that means: When any hydrocarbon (gas, propane, oil, even wood) burns, it gives off at least two "products of combustion. The carbon combines with oxygen to create CO2, carbon dioxide. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to create water vapour, or steam. (If combustion is "incomplete," there will be other trace products as well.) It's the water vapour or steam we're concerned with here. To boil 1 pound of water requires 960 BTUs of heat. Conversely, if you condense steam down into 1 pound of water, you will recover 960 BTUs. The fuel is burned in the "primary heat exchanger," where of course it releases a tremendous amount of heat into the water we're warming up. Then the "products of combustion" are drawn by a fan into the "secondary heat exchanger." When the water vapour or steam component of the products of combustion hits the relatively cool walls of this second heat exchanger, they condense down into liquid water. As they do, they release heat into the boiler water through the walls of the secondary exchanger. The liquid water then goes down a drain. Obviously, the boiler water has to be cooler than the steam component of the products of combustion in order for the heat to travel into it. So we make sure that this water is what's coming back to the boiler from the heating system. Again, for this method to work well, it's best applied in a "radiant in-floor" type heating system, where we don't heat the boiler water up to as high a temperature in the first place. --The HVAC Veteran
What is the best underfloor heating system for a reasonable price?
The best underfloor heating system would be for through Floor Heating. They tend to offer great deals and will back their product's usage with a year or more warranty.
How is a boiler's hot water heat exchanger cleaned of restricting scalerust?
The best way to clean scale is to flush with straight vinegar, for up to 1/2 hour.
What are the best conditions for a Diels-Alder reaction?
heating in hexane
What are combi boilers?
Combi boilers are designed to accomplish both space and water heating with a single appliance. Like a tankless water heater, a combi boiler provides hot water on demand. It can also seamlessly switch between water heating and space heating to provide the best possible experience.
How do you install a number 67 automatic hot water air vent?
Auto vents should be placed on the highest part of a heating system. If you are trying to get rid of air out of your heating system, the BEST product on the market right now is called a spiro-vent. If you don't have one near your boiler, you are NOT getting the performance that you should. This is a must have on any boiler!
What does DOE heating capacity MBH oil fired heating boilers mean?
The DOE heating capacity MBH oil fired heating boiler refers to the heating capacity of the boiler. The DOE is one of the best boilers in the market.
How can oil enter the boiler feed water system?
First there should be a back flow preventer so the boiler water can not travel back into your potable water. Oil could have entered the system during installation. Oil is used during pipe threading and if is not cleaned off could have been left in the system when the water was turned on. Also there is some oil in some thread sealants which if too much have used could have entered your system. Not sure why you are asking but this could cause problems in a steam heating system causing the water to surge back and forth. This can be fixed by heating the boiler and letting the oil flow out of a draw off at the top of the water level while adding more water. If doing this you want to make sure you have enough water in the boiler so that it doesnt get damaged from the heat.ALL Boilers by decent codes require a back flow preventor NOT just a check valve UNLESS the boiler is fed though an air gap which is the best possible ptrotection for the potable system

Is electric water heater best to use with oil boiler?
Domestic coil in boiler better than electric water heater.
What are the best boiler to buy?
WHAT is the BEST truck to buy? It has to do with applications high pressure / heating /steam /hydronics / commercial There is NO BEST as they are made to ASME codes hopefully
What is the best way to remove rust from an existing water line which is losing pressure?
Unfortunetly, you will have to replace the line, or if this is a boiler system, email me for further details.

Where can one find spare boiler parts?
Spare boiler parts are best sourced from a reputable home heating specialist. Although much less expensive, boil parts made by amateurs and hobbyists are not safe.
Which fuel is best for heating water?
gas
