A hydronic heater is absolutely enjoyable for any type of weather
I have looked into buying myself a boiler system, then i liked the thought of having a enjoyable quality heating system for the Tuscaloosa winter. It is not like it gets severely freezing with snow, ice, and below freezing temperatures; However, it still gets freezing and I like that boilers are so versatile, then a boiler system is a tank of a heater that lasts a super long time! With a boiler you don’t need to supply it much upkeep or love. With ongoing cleaning and inspection a boiler can live fifty years. Another perk is a boiler can be hooked up to baseboards, radiator, or your home’s water. It can serve as a water heater, hydronic heater, snowmelt system, pool heater, and so much more. Living in Tuscaloosa I don’t use all those functions. What I have spoiled myself with is having a hydronic heater. I appreciate having heated flooring. With this system you don’t have anything big in the way for heating; The boiler sits in the basement and the radiant heater is under the floorboards. It is silent when it heats, does not stir up dust, and due to it being water based, you aren’t getting any forced heat rising to the ceiling, however nothing gets wasted or not used. A hydronic heater is absolutely enjoyable for any type of weather. I do feel I added value to my dwelling relying on a hydronic heater. The only con of the system is redoing the flooring after the replacement, and my floors were old and due for an replace though.
