When I first started in this business 40 some years ago, our equipment selections and system designs were much simpler.

With the ASSE 19210 Hydronic System Installation Standard, I helped address the coefficients of expansion and contraction in hydronic piping.

The superhuman effort given by manufacturers rep Greg Gibbs each day.

As this year begins, I’ve decided to take some time out of my normally busy schedule and do some ride-alongs with some of the many segments of the hydronic heating industry.

Full disclosure. I’ve been involved in radiant window development for over the last 10 years.

Remember, the consumer is purchasing radiant floors because they want to experience the “warm floor” concept, even during the summer months.

The great thing about this type of system is that the availability of recovered energy matches the demand for energy to heat hot water for cleaning dishes and equipment.
