In hydronic heating, hot water is quickly circulated throughout the home after being heated in a boiler. Circulation takes place through pipes that are fitted in the walls. It then passes through the panel radiators installed in each room before being released into the air and dispersing evenly across the space.
While hydronic heating systems can create a pleasant and cozy environment, there are some disadvantages that homeowners should know about before investing in one. JNR Plumbing, local experts in hydronic heating and water heater repair in Westport, CT, explains the pros and cons below:
Advantages of Hydronic Heating
- Cleaner and Healthier
With no drafts or hot spots, hydronic heating warms a space naturally through convection and radiation. Additionally, it is dust- and allergen-free and driven by water and natural gas. Medical establishments and allergy-suffering homes favor it for these reasons. You will need to be cautious about who you contact for your water heater services because not all service providers will give you value for your money.
- Lower Energy Consumption
If a home was built in the 70s, it’s most likely that the heat is supplied by oil burners, wood-burning stoves, or even coal. All these choices are costly and inefficient. In comparison, like with a tankless water heater, a hydronic heating system is much more efficient, which can lead to greater energy savings.
Disadvantages of Hydronic Heating
- More Expensive
Though the operation costs are lower, the water heater installation and maintenance costs will eat into your wallet. You must maintain your heating system properly to avoid costly repair expenses.
- Takes Longer to Heat Up
Hydronic heating systems also take much longer to warm up compared with a traditional heating system. This is because the liquid can take a long time to circulate through the pipes in your home.
