Hydronic central heating systems using hot water filled radiators or pipes embedded in floorslab are becoming increasingly popular.
Designed, installed and used correctly, hydronic central heating systems from Skyline Energy can be economical and highly effective in most buildings. Water is heated, and then pumped through piping to panel radiators or convectors positioned in each room. Heat is transferred directly from these to the room air.
Benefits of hydronic central heating systems include:
- Manual or automatic valves to each panel allow individual rooms to be heated independently
- Fast to heat up; often within thirty minutes
- Low maintenance requirements
- No danger of burn or scald as the system is fully enclosed with radiator temperatures well below boiling point
- The surface temperature of natural convectors is pleasantly warm to the touch
- Heat-pump systems require minimal energy to maintain a comfortable temperature
- Natural air flow
