Hydronic Heating Is Safe

• There are no hazardous areas where kids can hurt themselves.
• There are no electrical connections in the rooms.
• There are no unsightly cords to trip over.
• There are no exposed flames
• There are no fire hazards.

Hydronic Heating Is Quiet

• There is no fan noise.
• There is no sound of air moving through the ducts.
• Hydronic underfloor heating isn’t just quiet, it is also invisible.

Hydronic Heating Is Comfortable

• Thermal comfort is achieved when objects in the room are sitting at a comfortable temperature.
• Hydronic heating gently warms the whole room.
• Your feet are also warm, not just your head.
• There is no hot air blowing to dry out the eyes and throat.
• There is no on/off and a hot/cold cycling of the heater.

It’s Healthy

• No dust or pathogens are being circulated by the force of air.
• Hydronic heating is friendly for asthma sufferers.
• There is no humidity added to the air- helps prevent mould.

Hydronic Heating Is Economical And Reliable

• Enjoy lower energy bills as using water to circulate heat is the most efficient solution.
• Money isn’t wasted with hot air heating the ceiling.
• Works with the principles of thermal comfort- thermostat settings are lower.

Hydronic Heating Is Versatile

• A range of exciting possibilities is opened:
• You can heat a whole house or individual rooms.
• You can control the temperature of each room or area individually
• You can heat a whole home underfloor.
• You can heat a whole home with radiators.
• You can mix underfloor and radiator heating to suit your needs.
• Heated towel rails can add a touch of luxury in the bathroom.

Hydronic Heating Allows You A Choice Of Heat Sources

• You can choose a gas boiler.
• You can choose an electric boiler.
• You can choose a heat pump, air or ground sourced (geoexchange).
• You can choose a biomass (wood or pellet) heater.
• You can choose solar hot water or solar boost.
• or any combination to suit your needs.

It’s Environmentally Friendly

• Carbon footprint is greatly reduced.
• Higher efficiency means less energy is used to heat your home.
  – less energy used means less CO2 produced
  – your family, your wallet and your planet will thank you

It can cool as well for the cooler months – hydronic heating and cooling

It’s No Secret. Hydronic Heating Uses Water

The Question is, “Why does hydronic heating use water?”
Because water can transfer a lot more heat than air, and has none of the downsides of blowing hot air through your home.

Hydronic Heating Is Quiet

There is no fan noise.
There is no sound of air moving through the ducts.
Hydronic underfloor heating isn’t just quiet, it is also invisible.

So, What Are The Components of a Hydronic System?

Have a look at the simplified schematic above. What you see, are the essential elements of a hydronic system. They are

1. The heat source. In this case, it’s a Bosch gas boiler. You can actually choose from a gas boiler, electric, a heat pump, a biomass (solid fuel or pellet) heater, or a choice of solar sources. Use one, or mix them up- whatever works best for you.
2. The piping. This distributes the heat efficiently, silently, comfortably, and out of sight. In the real world, the piping from the heat source leads to a manifold.
3. The manifold. The job of the manifold is to split up the hot water, and direct where it’s wanted- to your choice of heat emitters..
4. The heat emitters. You can choose to have radiator panels in the room, and these come in a variety of styles, shapes and colours to complement your decor. Alternatively, you can have the water heat the floor, under threflooring, or in-slab. Or a mixture of both! Each panel, or room, can be individually turned on or off, and adjusted by a thermostat. You get the amount of warmth, where you want it. But what makes the water go around?
5. The circulation pump. A quiet, efficient pump circulates the heated water throughout the system.

A hydronic system can be the best possible heating system for your home. To be the best possible system, it needs to be designed well, to be built from quality components, and to be installed to the highest standards. That’s the promise of SmartHeat. Remember, your comfort is our concern.
