Few would argue that fin-tube baseboard was the “flagship” heat emitter in North American hydronic heating systems through much of the 20th century. 

We are proud to present the first in a four-part eBook series that chronicles Dave’s “Adventures in Hydronic Heating.” 

Suppose I was to tell you there exists a tankless water heater you could install on the hardest of hard water that would never, ever have to be descaled and that its heat exchanger’s water pathways would look almost as clean as the day it was born. 

A few years ago, an engineer who works with older New York City buildings started to email me with good questions, mostly about steam heating. 

I recently designed a system for my daughter’s new home with a water-to-water geothermal heat pump as its main heat source. 

I recently had an inquiry from a designer who needed to combine some high temperature loads with low temperature loads. 

According to a recent industry report, radiant heating sales in 2019 were led by both electric floor heating mats and heating cables.

Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favorite fictional characters. I envied how he would notice each detail and use every one of his senses to solve the crime.
