Europe has used hydronic heating as a main source of home heating for decades, they are now in the process of transitioning from gas and wood fired boilers to air source heat pumps to gain the efficiency of this adaption of existing technology.
How does hydronic heating work?
A heat source, eg Air Source heat pump, gas or woodfired boiler heats water. This hot water is then pumped via a pipe circuit (loop) to radiators/panels or underfloor pipework and back to boiler to be heated again when necessary. Some systems require a buffer tank, particularly air source pump and wood fired systems, this smooths out the operation of the system and reduces air in the system.
The radiator/panel or underfloor heating coil zones can be temperature controlled using manual or automatic thermostats to give the ultimate in comfort in each room/zone.
