What is a hydronic heating system? Hydronic heating systems use water as a medium to move heat from where it's produced to where it's needed. Custom configurations paired with modern technology will allow for the exact comfort settings to be experienced by the user, quietly and efficiently.
The following are a few of the benefits to having hydronic heating installed in your home:
Homes with hydronic heating systems result in lower heating energy, use, and cost than other homes of the same size with forced-air heating systems. Studies show that homes with forced-air systems had air leakage rates 26% higher and used 40% more energy compared to hydronic heating systems.
Hydronic heating provides virtually unlimited possibilities to meet the comfort needs, budget, aesthetic tastes, and usage of any home. Just a single hydronic heating system can supply space heating, hot water, and pool heating. This reduces the cost and eliminates the redundancy of having multiple heat sources, electrical hookups, exhaust systems, and fuel supply components.
A common issue with forced-air heating systems is the dust, pollen, and smoke that moves throughout a building or home. Places where the air-filtering is poorly maintained, dust streaks around wall and ceiling diffusers are apparent. Very few hydronic systems utilize forced-air circulation. The hydronic systems that do, create room air circulation vs. building air circulation. This minimizes the distribution of airborne particles. This is a major benefit in homes and buildings were air cleanliness is crucial, such as for people with allergies, or poor health.
Another benefit of hydronic heating includes quiet operation. A properly installed and designed system can be virtually noiseless. For more information on installing hydronic heating in your home, contact Los Angeles area JO-MI Plumbing at 310-473-8111.
