Additional Benefits of Hydronic Heating System

Good evening everyone! In the last few posts we have covered three of the benefits of installing a hydronic radiant heating system for your home. We covered the benefits of comfort, energy savings, and design flexibility. Indeed, the early hydronic systems have nothing on today's modern hydronic systems.

In today's blog we will cover a few additional benefits of having a hydronic heating system installed at your property:

1) One very important benefit of radiant hydronic heating systems is clean operation. The reason for this is that hydronic heating systems do not move dust and pollen particles throughout the building as do forced air heating systems. In addition, forced air heating systems that consist of vents and ducts collect dust and other particles and needed to be cleaned. These forced air systems can cause quite a problem for those with allergies. In addition, they may promote the movement of dangerous air pathogens. 

2) Another benefit of radiant hydronic heating systems is that they do not create much noise. In fact, if designed correctly, hydronic systems barely produce noticeable noise. This is great for heating rooms and areas that require very low noise levels, such as recording studios, libraries, and theaters. 

3) Water has a much higher heat capacity than air. As a result, a much smaller volume of water is needed to transfer the same amount of heat. Thus, integrating a hydronic heating system into the structure of a building is much less intrusive than integrating the ducts and vents required by forced air heating systems.
