Air and Hydronic Systems Design

 A hybrid of air and hydronic heating systems combining radiant floor and forced-air heating ensures proper air circulation and ventilation throughout your living or work space while also improving thermal comfort and greater energy efficiency overall. 

Hydronic radiant floor heating is a system of plastic or metal tubes/pipes laid within a floor that carries hot water into specific rooms or “zones”, dispersing the heat through the floor surface. The cooler water returns to the heat source where it is reheated and sent out again in what is known as a “closed-loop system”.

The pipes can be encased in a concrete slab, a concrete or gypsum cement over pour, laid into thin grooved panels that nail on top of a subfloor, or suspended below a wooden subfloor using metal fins fastened under the floor surface.  The heat output is determined by pipe spacing, water temperature, flow rate and floor covering.

By determining the ultimate combination of air and hydronic technology, Homesol will help you configure a radiant floor heating system that is draft-free, invisible and will provide warmth and energy savings for your home or building.
