What is hydronic heating?

Are you beginning to look into a new hydronic heating system? If so, you likely want some clarity as to what it does. Here is a quick overview: a boiler heats water and pushes the hot water through connected pipes. These pipes go through the area you are heating. Next, pipes heat up from the water and transfer that heat to an object, in turn heating the room to your set temperature. This heat radiates and heats the whole area. In-floor heating systems will disperse the heat everywhere, but you can also have a system where you set up different zones. This means the hot water will only go through the designated zones that need to come up to your desired temperature.

Why is it better than forced air systems?

In a home with forced-air heating, you are heating air and pushing it through the house. This means when a window has been opened, that hot air is gone, and you have to start heating the room again. With a hydronic heating system, you are heating objects, such as a radiator or concrete slab. In this case, when that window is open, the object stays warm and you do not have to start again to heat the room. Do you know what that means? Saving money. When you are losing heat through open windows and doors the furnace has to constantly kick on. Of course, that costs you more money. If you are not losing heat all the time, the heating system has to come on less, therefore saving you money on your heating bills.
