Frequently Asked Questions
Is radiant floor heating better than baseboard heat?
Radiant floor heating provides extremely even, comfortable warmth from the floor up — and can be more efficient at lower water temperatures. Baseboard is less expensive to install in existing homes. We can discuss the best option for your situation.
Can I add zones to my existing hydronic system?
Yes — in most cases, additional zones can be added to an existing boiler system with a zone valve, circulator pump, and thermostat. We'll assess your system's capacity.
What happens if a baseboard radiator won't heat?
Usually a stuck zone valve, air trapped in the system, or a failed circulator pump. These are straightforward diagnoses and repairs for our technicians.
Can a heat pump work with my existing baseboard radiators?
Potentially — high-temperature heat pumps designed for hydronic systems exist, though they're more complex and expensive. A more common approach is adding a ductless heat pump alongside the existing boiler system.
