I live in Michigan and have a home that was built back in 58. I have been dealing with leaks in the system under the slab and am now looking at a very big repair bill to fix this problem. I have also lost a lot of sleep over this. Not just in bubbles but in the fear of a leak. Beware of the thought that having boiler heat is all roses.

A question regarding this post: are furnaces more efficient than boilers? The highest efficiency boilers I've seen are listed at 92-94%, but furnaces at 98%. On the other hand, since water retains heat better than air, it seems that a boiler should actually be more efficient. Web searches have not been illuminating.
