After a warm July and a great start to August, we will soon start to move into cooler and shorter evenings, a sure sign the Labour Day weekend is approaching. While there are several choices for home heating, one of the safer, comfortable, and economical ways to keep warm is with hydronic heat.
As the name hints, hydronic (derived from ‘hydro’ or ‘water’) is most commonly known as hot water heating. Hydronic heating systems circulate hot water of varying temperatures through pipes which lead to baseboards, radiators, and radiant tubing in your floors. At time of installation, this type of system is very easy to zone so you can warm your home where desired and keep the temperature down in areas that are not required, a highly efficient feature that saves on fuel.
Heating with hot water is not a new concept, but today’s hydronic heating has been greatly improved with efficient boilers and controls that incorporate outdoor monitors. The outdoor monitors raise and lower the water temperature in the heating system based on outside temperatures for comfort and efficiency. The piping systems for hot water heating are designed to last a lifetime.
Hydronic heating is a great choice for comfort and reliability. Hot water heating is the one system that not only supplies heat for the home but also produces domestic hot water for all household needs. Finally, a hydronic heating system is quiet and is great for people who have allergies as it does not move air and dust around your home.
