Hydronics
Hydronic heating remains the main way to heat in Europe and is becoming an increasingly popular choice in Canadian homes. But what is it?
Hydronic heating is a method of heating that uses hot water or steam instead of air. With hydronic heat, you get radiant heat and convected heat. Radiant heat warms you directly, just like the sun's rays. Convected heat is carried by warm air circulating in a room.
Hydronic heat lets you choose from several different devices that use these two heating processes. Hot water from your boiler can be piped to radiant tubing hidden in the floor, to slim baseboard radiators, or to stand-alone radiators.
In addition you can circulate hot water through a coil in your central air-conditioning unit to heat your home. In addition you can use this hot water for washing, cooking, hot tubs, swimming pools, and even to melt snow on your driveway or sidewalks.
