“Sometimes, when I’m down under a machine fixing it, I don’t want to leave,” joked Minn. farmer Ed Bruley of Milaca, Minn.
While maintaining a tractor can be recreational for some, Bruley was referring to the way his shop is being heated. Last summer, Bruley installed a hydronic heating system for his new repair shop, replacing a dilapidated building that was on its last legs.
Bruley isn’t alone. Radiant heating is catching on for new building projects. But what is radiant heating?
Hydronic radiant systems use in-floor tubing (called PEX pipes) through which heated water circulates. This system can be installed in new construction or as a retrofit.
Hydronic radiant systems boast features like being quiet, easier to zone, and no stirring up of dust or allergens. It’s also more energy efficient than traditional heating methods, like forced air.
“I’d been mulling it around, but decided to pull the trigger when I saw HUG Hydronics,” said Bruley.
“We made our system so it can use any type of boiler, run in a zero-pressure environment, and, on top of that, made it so easy to install, that anyone can put it together in about an hour,” commented Hunt Utilities Group (HUG) President and developer of HUG Hydronics, Ryan Hunt.
Traditional hydronic systems require many complicated parts and must be installed by a trained professional. The HUG Hydronics system does away with those barriers.
The HUG Hydronics system relies on submersible pumps laid into a tank of water. These pumps are directly connected to the PEX pipes that have been laid in the floor. These pumps circulate the heated fluid through the floor and are easy to connect and control.
“We’re really proud of how effectively simple it is,” shared Hunt.
