Hydronic Heating Design

Jeff and Diana Holmes, along with their family, have inhabited their own hydronic-heated home since 1992. This hands-on experience, coupled with Jeff's engineering background in fluid flow and heat transfer, ignited a passion for sharing the benefits of hydronic systems.

Our Expertise

Designing high-performance hydronic heating systems demands an intimate understanding of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and control theory - skills Jeff honed during his successful career in the hydrocarbon industry. We leverage this expertise to provide tailored solutions for residential and light commercial projects.

Our Focus

Our primary concern is ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of our clients. We prioritize clear communication and collaboration with architects and contractors, meticulously planning each step of the design and installation process. We believe in delivering balanced, cost-effective systems that prioritize efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance.

Our Approach

Every project starts with a detailed understanding of the building's energy use. We conduct comprehensive heat loss calculations to determine the optimal system configuration. This analysis considers factors like building envelope, climate, and desired heating/cooling needs. We also explore potential upgrades to enhance energy efficiency, such as improved insulation and window selection.

Furthermore, we explore various energy sources to fuel your hydronic system, including natural gas, propane, electrical resistance, and renewable options like biomass and ground-source heat pumps. Our comprehensive Fuel Calculator spreadsheet allows you to compare costs and select the most suitable fuel for your project.

Our Journey

Our own experience with hydronic heating has been a transformative one. We understand the importance of a comfortable, efficient, and sustainable heating system that enhances your living space. This firsthand knowledge guides our commitment to providing our clients with the best possible hydronic solutions. We are dedicated to empowering you to make informed decisions regarding your project.
