Although we can accomodate forced air heat and other options, we specialize in hydronics; in particular installing green energy systems such as Geo-Thermal heat source systems, which are very efficient.
Hydronic heat works through conduction and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat from one object to another. Radiation is the transfer of thermal waves to living space. To better understand what conduction is, picture yourself standing in bare feet on hot concrete and cool tile. The feeling is very different as first heat and then cold is conducted from the surfaces to your feet. Thermal radiation is what you see on hot days when waves of heat rise from sidewalks and roadways, creating what you see in the air.
Older boilers and furnaces had efficiencies in the range of 56% to 70%. Modern heating systems can achieve efficiencies as high as 95%, converting nearly all the fuel consumed into useful heat for your home. Energy efficiency upgrades and a new high-efficiency heating system can often cut your fuel bills and your furnace's pollution output significantly, saving you money. Upgrading your furnace or boiler from 56% to 90% efficiency in an average cold-climate house will save 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year if you heat with natural gas or 2.5 ton if you heat with oil.
