One that has been around for a long time is hydronic heating, which is a system most commonly associated with use of a boiler.

Boilers are part of a hydronic system, and the most commonly-used fuels with these systems are gas or oil.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Does a Hydronic System Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a hydronic system, water is held in a tank where it gets heated to a specific temperature. Once the water reaches this temperature (or creates the needed amount of steam), it is circulated through a system of pipes to a designated outlet. Outlets can be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Radiators<\/li>\n<li>Baseboard heating<\/li>\n<li>Hydronic floor heating<\/li>\n<li>Hydronic wall heating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hydronic systems are closed systems, so once the water (or steam) cools, it returns to the tank to be heated with the next cycle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are the Benefits of a Hydronic System?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are a few benefits that hydronic systems have which others may not:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good energy efficiency \u2013 hydronic systems that use oil as fuel have an average energy efficiency of 89%, and those using gas have average efficiency ratings of 90% and above.<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable heating \u2013 the heat of hydronic systems is gradual, which can be more comfortable for many people when compared to forced air systems.<\/li>\n<li>Quiet operation \u2013 the only time noise is created by a hydronic system is when the combustion operates to heat the water. Otherwise, the circulation and heating is silent.<\/li>\n<li>No dust \u2013 because air doesn\u2019t blow through ductwork, there is no build-up or circulation of dust in your home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If hydronic heating in Tustin sounds like it\u2019s for you, <a href=\"\/contact\/message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call Saddleback Plumbing<\/a> and schedule an appointment with one of our specialists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a lot of choices when it comes to home heating systems.
