NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Dave Yates wants more HVAC contractors to know more about hydronics. If they do, he believes more will add hydronic heating and cooling equipment to their product lines. Yates, the owner of F.W. Behler Inc., York, Pa., told attendees of HVAC Comfortech 2005 that hydronics is slowly catching on in the United States.
"Ninety-four percent of North American heating is hot air," he said. "In Europe, 98 percent is hydronic heat."
