Hydronic Heating Lets You
Heat Your Home Efficiently
Hydronic heating is one of the most energy-efficient and reliable ways to heat your home. Instead of using forced air, this system circulates heated water through a network of pipes to radiators, baseboard heaters, or in floor heating systems, which are part of your plumbing system. The result? Even, consistent warmth throughout your living space—without the noise, dust, or dry air associated with traditional furnaces.
At the Rhino Plumbing company, we specialize in hydronic heating installation, repair, and maintenance for homeowners the northwest of Edmonton area. Whether you’re considering a new installation or need repairs and servicing, our experienced technicians can help you maximize your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
WHAT IS HYDRONIC HEATING?
Hydronic heating systems work by heating water in a boiler and circulating it through a network of pipes to warm different areas of your home. The heat is then transferred through radiators, in floor heating, or baseboard heaters, providing quiet, efficient, and even heating.
Unlike traditional forced-air heating, which blows warm air through ducts, hydronic heating eliminates drafts, cold spots, and airborne allergens, making it a superior option for home comfort and energy savings.
Benefits of Hydronic Heating
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Water retains heat better than air, allowing hydronic systems to maintain warmth with less energy consumption. This results in lower heating bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
CONSISTENT & EVEN HEATING
Unlike forced air, which can create hot and cold spots, hydronic systems distribute heat evenly across your home. This means no more chilly rooms or fluctuating temperatures.
IMPROVED AIR QUALITY
Traditional furnaces circulate dust, allergens, and dry air, which can worsen allergies and respiratory issues. Since hydronic systems don’t rely on air ducts, they provide cleaner indoor air for a healthier home environment.
SILENT OPERATION
If you’re tired of noisy furnaces kicking in throughout the night, hydronic heating is the solution. These systems run silently, eliminating blowers, fans, and loud ductwork.
LONG LIFESPAN & LOW MAINTENANCE
Hydronic heating systems, when properly maintained, can last 20+ years. They also require less frequent repairs compared to traditional furnaces, reducing the risk of plumbing problems.
