Feel the Warmth

With hydronic radiant heat, you get two types of heat delivery: Convected heat and radiant heat. You'll remember from science class that warm air rises-That's convected heat. In radiators, cool air typically enters at the bottom and rises up through the unit as it is heated. This movement gently circulates heat throughout the room. Now imagine you're outdoors on a clear, cold, calm winter's day. While standing in the sun's Radiant rays, you don't seem to mind the freezing temperature. You feel surprisingly comfortable, because even though the air is cold, the sun's rays are able to heat you directly. That's the radiant heat principle at work.

A Radiant heating system provides you with natural, sunshine-like warmth throughout your home. Your hydronic radiant heating system consists of a heat-source and distribution system, controlled by state-of-the art electronics. Your heat source is a high-efficiency boiler that is carefully selected to provide sufficient heat for your home. In concert with the electronic control system, the boiler heats water according to the overall heating needs of the home in proportion to the outside temperature. The warm water is then routed through your floor to radiate heat upwards into the room. This natural heating method enhances your comfort level in your home and saves you energy.

By heating your home with radiant heat, you will enjoy many luxurious benefits. Unlike conventional "forced-air" systems, your hydronic radiant heating system is dust-free and completely silent. By warming your home with a hydronic radiant heat system, you will no longer blow pollen, dust mites and other allergens around your home. Your hydronic radiant heating system will also save you money as it uses less energy to maintain the same comfort level in your home than a "forced air" system.
