TORONTO - Robert Bean would like more HVAC contractors to sell hydronic heating systems, namely radiant heat. Bean, a Registered Engineering Technologist (R.E.T.) and founder of www.healthyheating.com, knows the indoor comfort level is greatly enhanced by the qualities of radiant heating. But he was delivering a bigger message to attendees of the CMX CIPHEX show.
Bean told his Canadian audience that the benefits of healthy heating should be the No. 1 item on the mind of contractors since it is the No. 1 item on the mind of aging homeowners. He said that the number of hydronic heating contractors has been steadily declining over the past 30 years, and it is too bad because hydronic heat is still in demand from a large number of niche market customers.
