How does Hydronic Floor Heating Work?With hydronic floor heating systems, water is heated by a primary heat source such as a gas powered boiler. When the room temperature requires more heat, the thermostat for that zone turns on the boiler and pumps hot water through the floor heating coils. The hot water warms the floor and that warmth, in turn, is radiated upwards from the floor, out into the room to other objects that are cooler than the floor itself. As the water is flowing through the coils, it begins to cool as it radiates its warmth to the floor. This cooled-down water is then returned back to the boiler to reheat. Hydronic floor heating systems are the most popular option for climatic regions which experience severe and long winters. More recently in Australia, hydronic floor heating has become a popular choice when considering ways to reduce our negative impact on our environment without comprising on comfort. Depending on the homes site location and access to resource, the most cost effective energy source may be natural gas, electricity, coal, solar or heat pumps. < Back to Floor Heating FAQ More on Speedfit Hydronic Floor Heating > |
