Hydronic Boilers

Hydronic heating is one of the most trusted and popular forms of heat in the North Country.

Because the heat is radiated from hot water baseboards or in floor hot water tubes the heat is very consistent in the space. A forced air furnace on the other hand, blows the hot air into the room to heat it which results in a noise from the registers and some people notice slight changes in heat. Hydronic Boilers heat the water using a fuel such as oil, gas, electricity or wood and the heat is extracted by circulating water around the heat source. Modern hydronic boilers have outdoor temperature sensors so they can heat the water to lower temperatures on warmer days saving even more energy.

On Demand Boilers

The most efficient form of hydronic heating, on demand boilers heat the water using natural gas or propane that burns so efficiently the exhaust vent can be PVC pipe. These boilers only heat the water when the thermostat calls for heat saving you tons by not having to keep the water consistently heated at all times. On Demand Boilers can be for heat only (Solo boiler) or provide both room heat and potable water for your faucets and showers (Combi Boilers) Learn more about on demand boilers from our preferred brand, Ideal Heating

Conventional Boilers

Today’s conventional boilers are much more efficient than the ones from 20+ years ago. Systems like our preferred TRIO boilers heat up in half the time of a conventional boiler...saving fuel, time and money. In addition to eliminating fuel waste and optimizing operating efficiency, TRIO's proven recirculating flue gas technology reduces emissions and your carbon footprint

In Floor Radiant Heat

Wall mounted hydronic baseboards are great, but there’s nothing like a warm floor under your feet. Using flexible tubes to circulate warm water thru and mixing valves to make sure the temperature is just right, hydronic in floor heating can be installed under laminate flooring, engineered hardwood flooring, tile flooring or buried into a concrete slab. Indoors is the most common use but they can also be installed in concrete outdoors to keep sidewalks and driveways clear of snow and ice.
