RADIANT HEATING INTRODUCTION
Radiant heating systems are one of the most comfortable and energy efficient means of
heating your home, office, warehouse, any space.
We all know of how it works, we see it every day when the sun rises and heats the earth
with it's inviable waves of energy traveling through cold space, until it warms the earth.
So hence the name RADIANT HEATING. We use warm water to deliver warmth to objects
in your space , until they warm up and convect into the air to warm it as well. Radiant heat
warm up objects, not the Air Volume.
This is the opposite of forced air systems, that warm the Cold Air and as the warm air
collects and builds up in a room, the heat will be a the top and then makes it way down to
the colder floor. Objects then warm up, after the Volume of Air gets to the proper temp.
Combination boiler, geothermal, solar thermal, air source heat pumps
Boilers are a common means to heat a radiant system. 95% afue typically, But  today we
are trying to become more carbon neutral or off grid as possible.
If we use a high efficient boilers, we try to combine a 95% boiler to be used as a radiant
and domestic hot water system as well, than  a 69 ef water heater.
On other projects we may tie in a Geothermal heat pump that works at 500% efficient. A
Geo makes hot water for the radiant and for domestic use. Or we will tie in a Solar
Thermal system to the radiant to heat to pre heat water from the sun, to be used in
heating or for domestic hot water. 90% heat transfer to water.
Some of the  many benefits of RADIANT HEATING:
-longer life expectancy from a radiant system
-Ascetically pleasing, no registers and return grills to see.
-Reduces the dust and allergens that blow in your home
-More comfortable, even heat, and coverage  even in the shower.
-Ultra quiet operation, no blower noise.
Hydronic forced air and European style Panels
Get a high efficient system that will be elegant and affordable. European panels.
Hydronic forced air systems are easily retrofitable to existing HVAC systems.
With these systems you will easily see 15 plus years of heating.

There is no better heating system, than a hydronic  heating system.
Hydronics is heating by means of using hot water, either radiant, forced air, base boards, and  
DHW- domestic hot water. This does not sound efficient, but hydronics has typically a 98% thermal
transfer. Since 2003 we have looked into ways to make Hydronics  affordable with out cutting into
performance, quality materials, and especially craftsmanship. Today we are accomplishing this, and
in 2008 we will be delivering a new affordable system that will be mostly electric water heating for
domestic and for Hydronics. With 40% less carbon foot print than a 80% boiler, 400% to 650%
efficient, and
affordable. Off the grid may be sooner than later.
