Hannabery HVAC is proud to be one of the few companies in our area that designs our own Radiant Heat Systems for Residential and Commercial In-Floor Heating and Snow and Ice Melting applications. Read our Radiant Heat Training Center Press Release.
Radiant Heating Systems are more complicated to design than normal warm-air or hydronic systems. There are many of extra factors to take into consideration, including flow-rate, circulator sizing, water temperature, zoning, controls, wiring, lay-out, and more.
This is why most Heating Contractors have to send out blueprints to a Design Company, which may never actually even see the site. The Heating Contractor then installs a system they may not understand, based on a set of instructions from the Design Company.
What happens if the plans don't match the house? What happens if there are construction changes? What happens if the system doesn't work right? Is it an Installation problem or a Design problem? For the homeowner, it can quickly get very ugly, as the blame game begins.
At Hannabery HVAC, we design, install, and service our own Radiant Systems. Our technicians attends the best Radiant Schools to stay on top of this ever-changing industry. We custom tailor each system specifically to the homeowner's needs and they are set-up to provide the ultimate in efficiency and comfort. We use only the best-name equipment, parts, and materials to help assure a long-lasting and worry-free system.
You deal with one company - one you know and trust!

| How Does Radiant Heat Work? |
A boiler circulates warm water through tubing in or below your floors. As the floor heats up, it gives off radiant rays to all of the objects in the room; just as the sun heats our planet, which then warms the air and surrounding objects. Not only will the floors be warm, but everything in the room will be as well.
Radiant heat is better than forced-air heat because it keeps the air within the first five feet of the floor warmer than the rest. This allows for a cooler head but a warmer body. With forced-air heat, the warm air tends to rise causing the floors and your feet to feel cold.
Radiant heat is better than baseboard heat as well. You are no longer restricted by furniture placement or decorating ideas. Rooms look larger and better, and the system is quieter.
| Can I Get Radiant Heat For My House? |
In most cases, yes. In existing homes with a second floor, it may be difficult to use radiant heat for the second floor but other options are available. Give us a call. We can set up a consultation with you at your home or office to go over all of the aspects of your radiant design. And remember, it's not just for home heating. We install radiant heating for driveway and sidewalk snow and ice melting systems as well.
