Professional Hanover Radiant Heating
Radiant heating systems are highly efficient because they use a small amount of electricity to transfer heat rather than creating it by burning fossil fuels like furnaces and boilers. They harness the earth’s constant underground temperature as the source of heating.
Geothermal heating is possible thanks to a network of polyethylene pipes installed beneath the surface. These pipes circulate a solution of water and refrigerant, which serves as the conduit for transferring heat energy.
Our professionals install these pipes either vertically or horizontally. The choice of which option will be more appropriate for your system depends on several factors, including the size of your property and its soil composition.
Our professionals place horizontal loops in trenches between four and seven feet deep, while vertical installations involve drilling deep holes, ranging from 100 to 500 feet, to accommodate the pipes. Although vertical setups are generally more expensive, they are suitable for properties with limited space.
Geothermal heat pumps are effective when you use them with a radiant system to heat your home or business. The system supplies the hot water, while the radiant floor heating system circulates it through tubbing integrated into your flooring.
Unlike traditional heating methods, radiant systems provide heat directly from the floor. This direct heating method ensures the even distribution of warmth throughout the rooms in your home, eliminating cold spots and reducing energy consumption.
There are several reasons why either a geothermal or radiant system could be the best decision for your home.
- Unmatched energy efficiency
- Consistent, comfortable heating
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Long-term cost savings
Another benefit of this heating system is that it is cheaper to maintain than conventional systems because it has fewer moving parts than they do. In addition, the pump part of the system can last 25 years, and the underground pipes have an expected lifetime of 50 to 100 years.
While the initial setup requires careful planning and is expensive, the long-term benefits in comfort and energy savings are substantial.
