With the winter chill upon us, choosing a hydronic heating system is a smart decision. Not only are they super quiet but also extremely energy efficient. They are a great alternative to other systems for comfortable living in winter, without the expense.
What is hydronic heating?
Hydronic heating is a clever, energy efficient heating system that uses water to heat your home. The water is used as a method of transporting heat. It absorbs the heat from the boiler at an initial source point, then travels through a piping system, typically beneath the floor, releasing warmth into the home. The water continues to loop through the pipes. As it cools, it returns to the boiler, is re-heated and continues on again to maintain the home’s preferred temperature.
Benefits over traditional heating systems
Hydronic heating is a solution well worth considering given the huge range of benefits it can provide, like consistency and cost effectiveness.
Consistent temperatures
Traditional heating methods can create hot and cold spots throughout your home with poor air circulation. You may even experience draughts as the air is blown through ducts leading to uneven warmth. Hydronic heating cleverly allows you to enjoy constant temperature as it radiates throughout the entire room.
Cost effective
Each system uses less energy than conventional central heating systems and thereby is a cost effective solution to many homeowners. Hydronic heating systems are far less expensive to run and produce lower emissions than other methods of heating, making them good for the environment as well as the hip pocket.
Dust free, noise free
When you use hydronic heating, there is no air forced into the home via traditional heating ducts, so dust and airborne allergies are not spread throughout the living space. This is a great bonus for those who are sensitive to bacteria or suffer from allergies or asthma. You’ll also avoid any in-home noise pollution, as the hydronic unit is completely silent.
Safe and flexible
Hydronic heating systems are fully enclosed so there is no risk of burning. This makes it a fantastic solution for all kinds of homes, particularly those where inquisitive little hands might be at risk.
Consider installing a cost effective solution today. You’ll provide your family with a warm, safe and comfortable living space and save on your energy bills too.
