Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating Systems

Hydronic radiant floor heating is one of our specialties. We consider it the best, most efficient and comfortable form of heating available today.

floorheatboilersystem.gif (92012 bytes)Most heating systems depend on creating warm air near the floor and then blowing it around on its way to the ceiling. A radiant floor heating system, by contrast, produces a steady, constant and gentle gradient of air throughout the entire room.

Radiant floor heating requires some expertise. For example, water temperatures must be strictly controlled, because if the water returns to the boiler too cold, condensation will form and the boiler will begin to rust. Depending on your installation, mixing valves may have to be installed so that the water reaches the boiler at the right temperature. There are other variables as well— ranging from your water pressure to the type of flooring you have—and all these have to be taken into account to make your system efficient. Radiant heating may be an easy concept, but properly implementing it can be a challenge.

Make sure it’s done right—give us a call.
