When it comes to heating your Maryland home, a traditional forced-air heating system isn’t your only option. Stang Plumbing & Heating knows there are several ways you can heat your home effectively and efficiently. One way is through a hydronic heating system.

What Is a Hydronic Heating System?
A hydronic heating system uses hot water to heat the home.
How Does Hydronic Heating Work?
A gas boiler produces heat in your Gaithersburg home using natural gas or propane. That heat is then transferred to water tubes in the heat exchanger.
Water is heated and then transported through your home via baseboards, radiators, or heating tubes installed in the floor. The hot water then returns to the boiler. In addition to heating the home, this system can be used to supply your home with hot water.

Is Hydronic Heating More Efficient Than Forced Air?
These are some of the benefits of installing a hydronic heating system over a traditional forced-air heating system:
- More even heating: Heat rises, which means that with a forced-air heating system, the heat that comes out of your registers will quickly rise toward your ceilings and to the second floor. This often leaves lower levels of the home colder, and also causes hard floors to be cold to the touch. With hydronic heating systems, the heat will rise from the floors. This provides more even heating throughout the home and keeps your hard floors from getting cold.
- More control over heat in the home: With a forced-air heating system, if you want to heat the living room, you’ll have to heat the whole house. This isn’t very efficient if there’s no one in the bedrooms. With hydronic heating, you can set up different zones throughout your home. You can control the temperature in these zones separately, giving you more control over the temperature of each room.
- Less noise when heating: A furnace can make a lot of noise, especially an older one that has just cycled on. Hydronic heating systems typically operate in silence, which adds to the overall comfort of your home.
- Improve energy efficiency: Hydronic heating is much more energy-efficient, which means you can reduce your monthly energy costs by installing a hydronic heating system. Being able to control different zones means you won’t have to waste energy, and water is a better conductor of heat than air, which means less energy is needed to produce and distribute heat. Forced-air heating also tends to lose a lot of heat.
As you can see, there are many benefits to installing a hydronic heating system instead of just settling on a typical forced-air heating system.
