Our experts at Crystal Waters can help you with installing, repairing, or replacing hydronic heating systems in your home. Just give us a call and avoid the stress of a cold house.

How Hydronic Heating Works

Hydronic heating systems operate by circulating heated water through a network of pipes or tubing embedded in the floors of a building. This water is heated by a boiler or a combi boiler and then distributed through a closed-loop system. The heat from the water radiates upward, warming the floor and subsequently the entire room evenly. This method ensures a consistent and gentle heat distribution, which is particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

One of the key components of a hydronic heating system is the manifold, which acts as a hub to direct the flow of heated water to various parts of the house. The system uses PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), copper, or oxy barrier piping, known for its durability and efficiency in transferring heat. The heated water flows through these tubes, which are installed beneath the flooring. As the water or glycol travels through the tubes, it transfers its heat to the surrounding space, creating a cozy and uniform warmth that eliminates cold spots and drafts.

Modern advancements in hydronic heating technology have made it possible to install these systems under various types of flooring, including hardwood, carpet, and vinyl. This flexibility allows homeowners to enjoy the benefits of hydronic heating without sacrificing their preferred flooring choices.

Can I Install Hydronic Heating in My Current Home?

Hydronic heating can be retrofitted into existing homes, though it is often more straightforward during new construction or major renovations. With the right planning and installation, it can be effectively added to existing home setups.

It’s important to consult with both the floor installer and heating technician to ensure compatibility and proper integration.

Our Crystal Clear Process

Our Crystal Clear process begins with your choice of a digital form submission or a friendly conversation to share essential details about your needs, equipment, and the history of your mechanical system. Much like your doctor investigates your medical condition, our experts will ask targeted questions to understand what is happening with your home’s mechanical system. By efficiently narrowing down diagnoses and solutions prior to our arrival, we come prepared to offer the best remedies and improvements for you.

Understanding the nature of your mechanical issues allows our team to properly triage the severity of the situation, dispatching our techs based on levels of safety, protection of your property, and accommodating your schedule whenever possible. Our team is equipped to walk you through emergency situations such as no heat, water line breaks, sewer backups, and other serious failures that can happen when mechanical systems are not maintained or used correctly.

An experienced Crystal Waters technician arrives on time, equipped with the tools and knowledge to perform a thorough assessment. After conducting a detailed inspection of your plumbing or HVAC system, your tech will diagnose and document any issues, reporting to you exactly what is happening. Our techs are also trained and instructed on every call to inspect your entire system and identify potential problems so that as a team we can create a plan to avoid inconvenient and costly system failures.

After our comprehensive assessment, which may be digital or in person depending on the situation, we provide a clear and transparent proposal outlining the necessary repairs, maintenance, or enhancements you requested. The scope of the work, materials required, and the cost involved will be clearly shared with transparency so you can make an informed decision. Crystal Waters will always provide multiple options for your consideration whenever possible.

With your authorization to perform the work outlined in the proposal, our professional technicians get to work preparing the work site to ensure your home and belongings are protected. We prioritize safety, quality and efficiency, using industry-leading practices and materials to complete the job. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication, keeping you informed of our progress.

Upon completing the service, your Crystal Waters tech will conduct and document a thorough quality control check to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Your tech will walk you through exactly how to use and take care of your mechanical system, and will restore the work area, leaving your home as tidy as we found it. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we want you to feel confident in our services. After collecting your payment, your technician will upload every detail of the service call to your customer profile so our entire team will know exactly where we left off anytime you contact us, or when you are due for preventative maintenance service.
