Benefits of a Hydronic Heating System

Perhaps the simplest way to heat your home is through hydronic heater installation. Here, hot water will be pumped throughout your home, resting in radiators. Hydronic heater installation is affordable and it carries a wealth of benefits. Let’s look at some of these benefits.

1. No circulating air

A problem many people have with their heating set-up is hot air circulating around their homes. If you have hot air circulating, then dust and other particles will be floating around too. This means that, on occasion, the air can be less-than-clean. This isn’t going to be a problem for most people, but if you suffer from allergies and the like, it can cause an issue. This does not happen with hydronic heating.

2. It is quiet

Heating systems that circulate air are noisy. You will eventually get used to the noise, but that isn’t going to stop it being an almost constant whirr in the background. Hydronic heating is quiet. You will barely even know that it is running, but you still get to enjoy the amazing heating that it provides you with!

3. It is more energy efficient

Water is able to radiate heat for a lot longer than air can. This means that a proper hydronic heater installation can be a lot more energy-efficient. Many people who have had a heating system like this installed have managed to save a significant amount of cash on their energy bills each month.

Air heater units tend to raise the air pressure in the home too. This can cause significant heating loss if your home is poorly heated, thus raising energy bills. This is, of course, not going to be a problem for hydronic heaters. There is no air being circulated.

4. Warm your floors

Hot air is fantastic, but heat rises. This means that you will often have a ‘colder’ zone towards the bottom of the room. If you have ever walked on cold tiles, it isn’t the most pleasurable of experiences. Since hydronic heating systems tend to be placed underneath the floor, the floor will be warmed up. It makes everything a bit more pleasant.

5. Easier to control the temperature in some situations

Depending on how you have the heating system set-up, you will often have a lot more control over the heat of individual rooms. Far more than with most other heating set-ups. So, if you like your room to be a bit warmer, but another family member likes their room to be a bit chillier, then you will be able to accomplish this with hydronic heating.

6. Requires less maintenance

While you will still need to have a hydronic heater service carried out on occasion, there is a lot less than can go wrong with a hydronic heater installation. This means that less repair will need to be carried out too, so there are significant savings that can be made there. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have your system serviced on occasion. Hydronic heating works less-efficiently the older it gets, so if you want to keep everything ticking over nicely, you should have it checked once per year.
