Advantages of the hydraulic system

There are a few things to love about water underfloor heating systems. Since the heat comes from the floor itself, there are no vents to accommodate the furniture, and the furniture itself can collect some heat.

Unlike systems with forced air supply, they do not spread allergens around the room and do not heat evenly, eliminating cold points.

Best of all, these silent systems are typically 10 to 30 percent more energy efficient than standard HVAC systems and will continue to keep the home warm for hours after a power outage.

Disadvantages of the hydronic system

These systems are not without drawbacks. The biggest problem is that you’re more limited in using flooring. For example, carpets can block heat. You’ll also have a longer wait time when you first turn on the system, which can increase the humidity of your rooms near the floor.

However, the biggest problems arise during installation. You will need a contractor trained to install the system due to its special requirements.

They can also become very complex if you install them into an existing floor. Any repairs will also be quite complex and potentially costly, although the necessary repairs to flooded parts are very rare.

Hydraulic and electric

Hydraulic systems are generally cheaper to install and operate than electric ones. They used a closed-loop system, making the costs of operating the boiler and pumping your only real fees.

Compare this to an electrical system that has to pump electricity throughout the system.

hydraulic and forced air

Forced air supply systems require furnaces and ducts to be laid throughout the house. Even in modern systems, this can lead to cold spots, and ducts need to be cleaned regularly to reduce the spread of allergens.

The modular design of the ducts can also lead to heat loss and reduced overall efficiency. Because parts are built into the hydraulic system and a smaller heating element is used, most of these problems are eliminated.
