What Is Hydronic Heating

Hydronic Heating is a form of Hydronics. A system in which warm liquids such as water/glycol are used to heat conditioned space, driveways and/or snowmelt applications. This type of heating has been used for centuries. The use of radiant energy that creates quiet, comfortable efficient heat.

With Hydronic Heating, water is preheated and flows through tubing laid underneath the floor. As the floor warms, heat rises and creates a conformable living space without the adverse effects of forced-air units.

Hydronic Heating can also be controlled in ways that allow you to personalize how your floors are heated. By creating individual floor heating zones, you can maintain one temperature in your family room floor, and another in your bedroom floor.

Radiant Heat is one of the most efficient means of heating your home. Unlike forced air units, there is no heat loss through duct-work, so all of the energy is transferred through the floor and up into your living space. When combined with a high-efficiency condensing boiler or solar heating array, your in floor system will save you a considerable amount of money compared to conventional heating units.

About Hydronic Heating

Hydronic heating is clean and allows you to ventilate clean air through your home independent of the heating system. Many people believe that because their home was built with forced-air heating, that replacing with an HYDRONIC HEATING System i.e. warm floor, is beyond their financial reach, but Hydronic Heating makes it possible by placing in floor heating directly above your existing subfloor.
