Hydronic Heating
What is Hydronic Radiator Panel Heating:
Hydronic radiator panel heating is a system that uses hot water to warm your home. Hot water of 70 degrees Celsius flows through a network of pipes to panels on the wall, releasing heat into your rooms. It’s a silent, efficient, and cozy way to keep your space warm on even the chilliest of days. Compatible with Gas Boilers and Electric Heat Pumps.
Things to consider:
Space requirement – radiators can take up wall space and may limit furniture placement.
Slower response time – typically has a slower response time than forced-air systems, as it needs time to heat the water and radiators.
Maintenance Requirements – as with most systems, it requires regular (annual) service to ensure the system’s longevity and efficiency.
One system, one purpose – primarily for heating, and if you want to cool, you may need to have a separate cooling system.
Pros of a Hydronic System
Efficient Heating – It can be up to 30% more efficient than traditional forced-air heating systems, leading to significant energy cost savings.
Quite operation – operates quietly, creating a peaceful and comfortable environment without the noise associated with other options.
Consistent Comfort - provides consistent warmth throughout your space. Unlike forced-air systems that can create hot and cold spots, hydronic systems distribute heat evenly, ensuring your entire space is comfortable.
Allergy-Friendly: Hydronic heating doesn't rely on blowing air, so it doesn't circulate allergens and dust particles, making it an excellent choice for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Zoning Options: These can be easily zoned, allowing you to independently control the temperature in different areas of your home. This can lead to further energy savings by only heating the rooms you're using.
Longevity – This durable system can last decades with proper maintenance.
Wide range – there is a wide range of panels and colours to choose from for the ultimate design of your home.
