What Are Hydronic Heating Systems?

A hydronic heating system, as the name suggests, uses water as the medium that transfers heat from one place to another. This is done in these three steps:

  • The water is heated using either gas or electricity in what is called a boiler.
  • The hot water is then circulated in hydronic pipes throughout the house using a pump.
  • Lastly, the pump works to return the water back to the boiler after heat has recently been distributed.

Hydronic Heating System Advantages

  • Unlike air heating systems, hydronic heating does not interfere with the quality of the air inside the house. As a result, hydronic heating does not dry out air and will ultimately make controlling your home’s humidity a much simpler task.
  • Hydronic radiators are more energy efficient than their air counterpart due to the fact that water is a better conductor of heat than air. For example, if it takes one hour for an air heating system to warm up your house, a hydronic heating system will take a lot less time to do so.
  • When you switch from air heating to hydronic, you can expect a 20-40% decrease in your hydro bill.
  • Modern hydronic heating systems have a lot of versatility in terms of their installment and design. Unlike air vents that take up space, hydronic heating accommodates the client’s preference in a way that is both space-conscious and aesthetically pleasing.
