Other hydronic systems use cast iron radiators or tubing in the floors, ceilings or walls to circulate heated water and radiate the heat to the living space.
Hydronic heating has three advantages over other types of heating systems.
These advantages are comfort, efficiency, and versatile installation. Hydronic heating is more comfortable Since hydronic systems rely more on radiant heating, they offer more even heating of the living space. In a hydronic system, there s no air blowing around the room, so there are virtually no drafts to make people uncomfortable. And because the hydronic system is heating people and things via radiating surfaces rather than hot air, the air is not getting dried out as much as with a Forced Air System. By not overheating the air, a hydronic system makes it easier to maintain a comfortable humidity level during the heating season.
