What is Hydronic Heating?
​
Hydronic heating is a home heating system that uses water instead of air to spread the heat throughout the home. In technical lingo we say, “the heat transfer medium is water”. This type of heating has many benefits, but it is not always simple to integrate into your home. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about hydronic heating.

Hydronics is the use of water as a heat-transfer medium. Hydronic heating systems have a boiler (or water-to-water or air-to-water heat pump) that heats water that is then pumped through pipes throughout the house or building. Often when people think of hydronic heat systems they think of old-time cast iron radiators or baseboard convectors. This in turn is often associated with rooms that overheat and are very dry air. Today, modern high-efficiency boilers and controls allow us to better control the water temperature and take into account the temperature outside (this is called an “outdoor reset”) making hydronic heating the most comfortable heating option available.
Hydronic heating systems start with a boiler (which can be electric, natural gas, propane or even wood pellet fueled) or a heat pump (a fancy device that extracts heat from the outside air, an “air-to-water” heat pump or from the ground, “a water-to-water” heat pump,) that heats the water and then a series of pumps and controls that sends the heated water around the house. The water can be used to heat radiators, convectors, air handlers, towel warmers, bathroom floors, and other surfaces, and then back to the boiler to be reheated.
