Hydronic heating systems use water to move heat from where it is produced to where it is needed.
The water within the system is neither the source of the heat nor its destination; only its “conveyor belt.” Heat is absorbed by the water at a heat source, conveyed by the water through the distribution piping, and finally released into a heated space by a heat emitter.
Energy Savings
Buildings with hydronic heating systems have consistently shown lower heating energy use than equivalent structures with forced-air heating systems. Hydronic systems do not effect room air pressure while operating, which means the air leakage rates averaged 26% lower and energy usage averaged 40% less in the homes with hydronic heating.
Maintaining comfortable air temperatures in the occupied areas of rooms plagued with a high degree of temperature stratification leads to significantly higher air temperatures near the ceiling. The hot air increases heat loss through the ceiling.
Design Versatility
Hydronic heating offers almost unlimited possibilities to accommodate the comfort needs, usage, aesthetic tastes, and budget constraints of just about any building. Such systems reduce installation costs because redundant components such as multiple heat sources, exhaust systems, electrical hookups, and fuel supply components are eliminated.
Quiet Operation
A properly designed and installed hydronic system can operate with virtually undetectable sound levels in the occupied areas of a home. Modern systems that use constant circulation with variable water temperature minimize expansion noises that can occur when high temperature water is injected directly into a room temperature heat emitter.
