Like a furnace, boilers use fossil fuels to generate heat. Unlike their counterpart instead of transferring heat energy to air they transfer it to water. When heat is transferred to water many different heating processes can be performed. Most common in Southern Delaware is hot water baseboard heat but the heating possibilities are endless with water.
