When it comes to energy-efficient residential heating, heat pumps and condensing furnaces have grabbed most of the attention lately. But the benefits of hydronic radiant systems should not be overlooked.
Hydronic radiant systems are quiet, easy to zone, and don’t stir up dust, germs, or allergens. They can be paired with many types of heat sources, including gas and electric boilers, heat pumps, geothermal systems, and solar heating. Because radiant heat is stored in the structures being heated, it dissipates slowly, meaning it can keep homes comfortable during power failures.
