Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature is essential for a variety of reasons: it can ward off respiratory issues, improve sleep, and elevate your quality of life. But some heating systems are better than others—and hydronic has benefits you shouldn’t ignore. Learn why hydronic heating is the healthiest way to heat your home.
How Hydronic Operates
It’s easy to understand hydronic heating. A boiler heats water, which is pumped throughout your home through pipes to baseboard heaters and radiators. These emit natural radiant heat, which spreads evenly throughout the space. Eventually, the water makes it back to the boiler for reheating and recirculation. You can adjust the temperature in each room based on how much time you spend in it.
Better Air Quality
The cycle doesn’t use any blowers to blow air around your house—meaning you won’t deal with airborne particles like you would with a forced air furnace. If you have a medical condition such as asthma, you can rest easy. When you don’t have to worry about your allergies at home, you’re less likely to develop respiratory-related issues.
Energy Efficiency
While this benefits the health of everyone, a more energy-efficient heating system has bonuses for you. It’s a greener alternative to forced air and electric systems, and can use up to 70 percent less energy. It’s good for the environment, and great for your utility bills. That leaves more money to spend on other things.
