Known for its efficiency, hydronic heating, also known as radiant floor heating, is one of the most used heating systems, especially in multi-level buildings. Water is better at transferring heat than air as it maintains temperature longer.

We are proud to be the most trusted radiant floor heating system service experts in West Chester, PA and the surrounding counties in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery.

Timothy Off provides radiant floor heating system service in addition to services for all other types of hydronic heating systems, which are becoming increasingly popular for homes and businesses in Pennsylvania. Hydronic heating is cost-effective both in the short and long term, and it provides many additional benefits that make it a compelling alternative to traditional heating solutions.
What has helped hydronic heating become more widespread is that it is suitable for practically any home or business because it can use any energy source employed for residential or commercial purposes. Our radiant floor heating system service technicians install, maintain and repair systems that use electricity, gas, propane, oil and even wood.
Hydronic heating, and in-floor heating in particular, allows for a more consistent distribution of heat since the warm air is introduced at the ground level, rises up and fills the entire living space in the process. Many people also prefer hydronic heating because it does not require a blower and thus does not negatively affect indoor air quality by spreading dust and other impurities. Hydronic heating also allows you to control the temperature on a room-by-room basis whereas zones in a traditional zoned system are generally limited to floors.
Improved Air Quality
Since hydronic heating systems do not use forced hot air to distribute warmth, there are fewer impurities in the air which benefits those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Consistent Heat Distribution
Having the heat source start on the ground allows the warm air produced by your hydronic heater to rise and fill the entire room rather than just sitting at the ceiling.
Zone Control
With a hydronic heating system, you will also be able to control room temperature by zones whereas most forced air systems limit you to floor by floor if you’re lucky.
Multiple Energy Sources
If your home uses natural gas, oil, electricity, propane, or even wood, a hydronic heating system can be powered by any of these energy sources.
Hydronic Floor Heating System Components
All hydronic radiant floor heating systems require several main parts to function properly. A well-installed system will provide lasting efficient heat and temperature control for years. Hydronic systems can be powered by oil, gas, propane, or electricity.
Boiler
The boiler is what heats the liquid to be distributed throughout your home or business. If there is an issue with the boiler, you will have nothing but cold water running through the system.
Manifold
Connected to the thermostat, the manifold is the plumbing hub that directs the water throughout the building. This piece of the system involves several connections and is vital to system performance.
Tubing
Typically, PEX or other plastic tubing is used to distribute the water. Rigid pipe like copper is not ideal for hydronic systems. This piping travels through the floors and walls and needs to be flexible.
Heat Exchanger
This part of the heating system is the radiator, baseboard heater, or elements installed in the floor. They are what transfer the heat into your home or commercial building.
Pump
The pump keeps the water moving throughout the hydronic heating system. If this part breaks down, you won’t be able to circulate the hot water and keep the warmth distributed.
