Hydronic Heat

• I get why people start by asking “How much will a radiant heating system cost me?” – IMHO, it’s still the wrong question… #
• Pricing a hydronic heat system is a process – it starts with a heat load calculation, it has too… #
• Once you have your heat load calcs, you can factor in surface temperature, floor coverings, spacing, fluid temperatures, etc. #
• Wrap up the hydronic heat system design with flow calculations, tubing diameter and lengths, no. of loops and pump requirements #
• Only then can you truly offer up a realistic price for radiant heat based on the project – anything else is a rough estimate at best… #
• For 97% of all hydronic radiant heat systems I design, I recommend using 1/2″ Type-A PEX with O2 barrier… #
• Stop by our hydronic heating booth – Seattle Home Show this Saturday & Sunday – If you’re nearby & want to know about radiant heat… #

• What are most people using for tubing in their hydronic heat projects this year? 1/2″ PEX-A with O2 barrier – need a layout w/that? #
• “I’m glad you were able to save a few cents per foot on your PEX – but because you skipped the heat loss/design calcs, it’ll never work.” #
