What is Hydronic Heating?
It is an efficient home heating system that uses tubing to run hot water beneath the floor, baseboard heaters or radiators to heat your home. This is also known as Radiant Heating. It is becoming increasingly popular among households that want the comfort and control of heating zones, lowered heating bills and lowered environmental impact.
The hot water in the radiant system starts in an efficient boiler system where it gets heated before running to a plumbing manifold system. That acts as the control center by connecting to a thermostat and directing the appropriate temperatures to various zones in the house. A pump works to constantly circulate newly heated water into the tubing while the cooler water returns to the boiler to be reheated/recirculated.
Radiant heating provides superior comfort because the entire floor radiates heat in a even manner. Hydronic heating avoids cold spots due to poor air circulation (compared to the traditional forced air system) by producing a steady heat that radiates up. It also warms your flooring. Also, you will be rid of those cold tiles as it provides a gentle warmth to your bare feet.
