My oil company has suggested putting anti-freeze in my boiler to avoid

It sounds *like a good idea, but I was wondering if anyone has ever

Specifically, does your system heat the same?? *
That *is, does your home get warm as fast, and do you use the same

Anyone have any real life direct actual experience with this??

Thanks!

In the automotive field ethylene glycol has the reputation of leaking
through places where water won't. Given a perfectly sealed system, it
might not be important, but could be inadvisable in older equipment.
