Hydronic Heating & Boilers For Your Home
So, what exactly is Hydronic Heating? In simplest terms, hydronic heating is an energy-efficient home heating system that uses tubing which runs a hot liquid beneath your floor, along baseboard heaters, and even through radiators to heat your home. It is often also referred to as radiant heating.
Hydronic heating systems are popular in new homes and installed during home renovations as many people are beginning to realize the benefits of in-floor heating. There is nothing quite like standing with your bare feet on a warm floor in the winter. If you've ever stood on a warm driveway in the summer, you've felt this type of radiant heating in person. In addition, hot water heat lends itself to zoning for an even higher level of comfort in the home.
Hydronic heating systems have become increasingly popular among families that want added comfort and control in their heating zones, savings through lower heating bills, and a decrease in their environmental impact by making smart green building choices.
Today's hot water systems can deliver the highest comfort levels, as well as economical operation. New gas boilers are up to 95% efficient. Most new boilers modulate the burners based on outdoor temperatures and demand for heat indoors. New circulating pumps are quieter and generally require less maintenance.
Older residential boilers can have an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of as little as 60 percent, meaning 40 percent of the burned fuel is wasted. By contrast, ENERGY STAR boilers must have an AFUE rating of at least 85 percent, and some achieve a rating of 97 percent. Thus, switching to an ENERGY STAR boiler can cut your heating bill by up to 35 percent.
All of today's new boilers must have an AFUE rating of 80 percent or more. So if you buy a boiler that doesn't meet ENERGY STAR criteria (85-97 percent efficient), your gas or space heating costs could be five to 15 percent higher!
