Since 1940, the technology of the hydronic heater has been transformed from a bulky and somewhat
noisy heating solution to today's hydronic baseboard heaters; slim, quiet lower wall hugging, super
efficient heating marvels. Hydronic Baseboard Heaters The function of hydronic baseboard heaters is
very simple; hot water piped in from a boiler heats a small heat exchanger, heating air that is drawn in
from the bottom of the unit and sending it out the top heating the room. With the modern design of
hydronic heaters instillation is quick and easy, only requiring fastening to the wall and connection to the
inlet and return line.
Because these modern hydronic heaters operate on lower temperature water they can be installed
without fear of damaging the wall or surrounding areas.A hydronic baseboard heater that is only 3 feet
in length can easily heat most rooms more quickly and efficiently than electric space heaters and they
also make a wonderful replacement for ceramic space heaters as well. There are also stand alone
hydronic heaters that have a fixed water channel or tube connected to an electrical heating element
that is wired into a wall thermostat.
These types of hydronic heaters are perfect for simple heating solutions for basements or other parts of
your home where connection to a central boiler is not possible.The downside to using fixed water
element hydronic heaters is they require periodic refilling and tend to lose their heating efficiency as the
electrical elements ware out.
2. They still provide economical heating that can be installed quickly with simple hand tools by just about
anyone. In regions that have cold or severe winters, using hydronic baseboard heaters will provide
efficient and stable heating throughout a home, and because these units can be connected to separate
zones according to placement, they can be adjusted with thermostats that can precisely provide heat as
needed or be turned off when no longer needed.
Although hydronic heaters afford efficiency in design and heating potential, they operate separately
from a home's cooling system, where as forced air systems can co-habitat within the same air ducts. If
you are planning a home remodel or new construction this would be the perfect time to consider
installing radiant barrier insulation behind large baseboard heaters, and insulation of your hot water
supply pipes to ensure maximum heating and reduce energy consumption in your furnace or boiler.
