Hydronic Heating in Westport, CT

Are you looking for a new way to heat your Westport home that won't cause your bills to skyrocket this winter? Now is a good time to check out hydronic heating systems. Designed to work with liquid that runs through different tubes to provide the warm air you need, they cost a little more to install but help you save tons every year going forward. At JNR Plumbing, we have the skills needed to install one of these systems but recommend that you learn more about them before you call.

A Look at How Hydronic Heating Works

Hydronic heating systems rely on tubes that carry liquid around and through your home. The liquid reaches a higher temperature as it moves, which produces the heat that you need. While the heat affects your floors first, it slowly rises into the air to reach your body and every inch of your home. Hydronic heating has many advantages over standard heating systems that you should consider before you contact us.

Benefits of Hydronic Heating

Humidity can cause a lot of problems in the winter. Old heating systems usually produce a lot of moisture that causes the humidity level to rise. You can cut back on the humidity and keep mold from forming with a hydronic heating system. These systems are common in hospitals and similar buildings where people struggle with allergies. You will also find that hydronic heating is safer than other systems. It does not need to run off your home's power, nor does it rely on an open flame to operate.

Issues to Watch Out For

Like other heating systems, however, there are also some issues with hydronic heating. The most common issues are due to your water pressure. If the boiler doesn't have adequate water, the system lacks the water pressure it needs. The system can have the wrong tank pressure, which often causes damage to the boiler. You'll also want to look out for sludge buildup. In the same way that sludge forms clogs in your water lines, it can form similar clogs in the system's tubes. Those clogs can become so big that the system can no longer heat your home as efficiently as you want.
