Hydronic heating systems use hot water to carry heat to<br />
occupied spaces. Today's systems employ various piping<br />
arrangements to allow for zoned heat control. Many of<br />
these zoned systems use microprocessor controls to<br />
allow different heat levels to areas heated. The heat<br />
exchange units vary from stand up radiators, to<br />
baseboard units, to in-floor radiant heat systems. These<br />
complex systems require highly competent technicians.<br />
