What are Hydronic Radiators?
Hydronic radiators are heating devices that use hot water as the source of heat. Hydronic radiators can be more energy efficient than forced air heaters because heat is not lost through the transportation of the heated air. Hydronic heating systems are quieter than forced air systems since they do not rely on a blowing fan to distribute heated air. They also do not dry out interior air as a forced air unit can. In addition, the lack of air movement and no circulation of airborne particulates have made hydronic radiators popular among consumers who suffer from allergies or respiratory ailments. Hydronic radiators heat a room through radiant and convection heating. Radiant heating means that an object is heated by another object, without coming into direct contact with it. An example of this would be the warming effect of an outdoor fire. The people sitting around a fire are warmed by it, even though they do not come into direct contact with it. In interior radiant heating, the heat of t
