I was recently reading about both heated floors and hydronic heating/hydronic boilers.
- It goes to show you that I really don’t know a whole lot about how HVAC technology works.
I was very surprised to see that the hydronic boilers and radiant heated floors have similar HVAC technology! The heating is created in both pieces of HVAC equipment by using hot water mostly! I really thought that this was very interesting! Back before websites and the internet, I always used to go to my local library to read more information on all kinds of things that I was interested in. So with the internet now at my fingertips, I can do this a lot more. It all started because I was wanting to look up a manual for the radiant heated floors I have in my home. I had just got them a few months ago, and I could not find the manual that the heating and air conditioning specialist gave to me. I do lose things pretty easy. That’s just a flaw in my personality. So, while looking up the manual for the radiant heated floors that I have, I somehow came across an article on hydronic heating. They were talking about hydronic boilers, mostly. When reading about them, I got a bit confused at first. It sounded like they were talking about radiant heated floors! That is when I realised that they both run pretty much the same in a way. Eventually, I did find the manual for my radiant heated floors on a website. But wasn’t that interesting? I learned something new about HVAC technology in my hunt for the manual!
