People who live in these types of homes want to be comfortable, and they're usually willing to pay more for it. That's the perfect scenario for the Kool Fire hydronic system, which has been available for years in Canada but is just now being offered in the United States. The system has a higher price tag than conventional forced-air systems, but the manufacturer states that it provides unsurpassed comfort in residential and light commercial applications.
Some Beverly Hills homeowners recently decided to check out that claim for themselves and had the hydronic system installed in their newly renovated 5,400-square-foot home. The approximately $6 million home is now heated and cooled with several of the units, and the homeowners are reportedly happy and comfortable with their "moist heat" system.
