Heating

Hydronic, Radiant, Solar Heating, & Water Heaters

Hydronic heating is the use of water as the heat-transfer medium. Some of the oldest and most common examples are boilers, radiators, and hot-water baseboard systems. Hydronic heating systems have little or no air movement, which means air quality doesn’t deteriorate due to repeatedly circulating dust and impurities. This is a great benefit for allergy sufferers.

Radiant floor heating systems are another form of hydronic heat. PEX radiant tubing is installed in the concrete or pre-cut flooring systems which use hot water to conduct warmth to the surface of the floor. The water is heated by a boiler fueled by either natural gas, propane, oil or electricity and a pump circulates the water.

Solar Heating is growing in popularity as renewable energy technology.  There are two basic types of active solar heating systems based on the type of fluid—either liquid or air—that is heated in the solar energy collectors. In order to heat water using solar energy, a collector, often fastened to a roof or a wall facing the sun, heats working fluid that is either pumped (active system) or driven by natural convection (passive system) through it. The collector could be made of a simple glass topped insulated box with a flat solar absorber made of sheet metal attached to copper pipes and painted black, or a set of metal tubes surrounded by an evacuated (near vacuum) glass cylinder.
