Geothermal Heat Pumps & Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating

Geothermal heat pumps and hydronic radiant flooring make a great combination, especially at the relatively low hot-water temperatures that hydronic radiant requires. As a whole-home heating system, we can install many top quality hydronic radiant flooring brands such as “Uponor” and “Caleffi.”  However, you do not need a geothermal system installed to have the benefit of hydronic radiant heat flooring.  We can install hydronic radiant flooring without the use of a geothermal heating and cooling system by using a boiler.

Hydronic Radiant Floor Installation Services

Hydronic radiant floor heating systems eliminate the use of forced air to heat your home. They radiate heat directly through the furniture and your feet through a series of water coils placed beneath the floorboards. They’re extremely efficient and can be a great asset to the right household.

Consequently, consider these factors when wanting a Hydronic Radiant Floor System:

• The location, size, and layout of your home
• The direction your home faces
• The number of doors and windows will also play a role in choosing the right hydronic radiant floor system

We can handle any job, from entire heating system installations to installations for home additions. Call us right now for a free estimate!

New to Hydronic Radiant Flooring? How Does Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating Work?

In a hydronic radiant floor heating system, warm water flows through flexible plastic tubing called PEX that is located underneath or within the floors. (PEX is an acronym for crosslinked polyethylene.) The PEX tubing carries the warm water into specific rooms or “zones” to effectively heat people and objects in every corner of the room.

In addition to the PEX tubing, the other main components in a hydronic radiant heating system include a heat source, pumps, manifolds and controls. The heat source in a hydronic radiant floor heating system is typically a boiler or a hot-water heater. However, other heat sources can be used, including highly energy-efficient sources such as geothermal and solar.

And because a hydronic radiant floor heating system is designed in zones, you have the luxury of changing temperatures for each room, depending on its use. This makes the system even more energy efficient because unoccupied or lower-use rooms (such as a guest bedroom or formal dining room) can be set to a lower temperature than rooms with greater use (like a kitchen, bathroom or basement).
