Hydronic Heating Systems – Did you Know

According to the University of Wisconsin, heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects, in one of three ways, conduction, convection, and radiation. These tenants of physics apply to how heating and cooling systems work. Conduction occurs normally through solids, when heat moves from one object to another by direct contact. A common example of conduction is placing a solid pan on a heated stove surface, heat transfer from the cooktop to the pan through direct contact. Convective heat transfer happens through fluids, either liquid or gases. As heated air or water travel from one location to another heat is transferred from the warmer fluid to the cooler surroundings. Convection is the primary means of conventional heating and cooling systems. Finally, radiation occurs by electromagnetic waves, but unlike convection and conduction, does not require any material to transfer heat from one location or another. The most recognizable example is the heat felt when standing directly in the sun. Traditional gas furnaces, air-conditioners, and even heat pumps use only one form of heat transfer, convection. Hydronic heating systems, such as heated floors, use all three forms of heat transfer leading to significant improvements in heat transfer, achieve much higher energy efficiencies, and deliver superior comfort. The United State Department of Energy (DOE) finds hydronic floor systems are the most cost-effective radiant heating system for cold climates. 

Temperature stratification is a common comfort problem associated with traditional gas furnaces, air-handlers, and packaged heat pumps. Stratification occurs in air through a convective process, where colder air tends to fall to the floor and warmer air rises to the ceiling creating a noticeable temperature difference in a room. Because radiant heat systems use all three heat transfer mechanisms, air stratification is negligible and in nearly all cases imperceivable to an occupant, delivering superior comfort. Additionally, homes with hard surfaces such as hardwood, tile, and stone, provide a conductive media transferring warmth to the feet creating a cozy feeling.  

Research presented in the Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments Journal revealed radiant heating systems positively contribute to improved indoor air quality through better temperature and humidity control. Temperature improvements are likely attributed to reduced air temperature stratification as well as more even heat distribution throughout each space. Numerous studies have demonstrated the health connection of temperature and humidity to the growth and propagation of mold, mildew, mites, viruses and other disease-causing pathogens. Radiant heating systems offer better control of both temperature and humidity improving the health of indoor living environments.
