Dodge Woodson brings plumbing and construction pros (and even savvy do-it-yourselfers) all the details and know-how needed to: understand and explain the advantages of in-floor radiant heating; install, test, and debug embedded and dry radiant heat systems in new or existing homes; create heating zones for variable temperatures throughout a house; offer hot water heating as part of your system; heat seldom-used areas and provide outdoor ice removal and other add-on amenities; select superior equipment - tubing, boilers, expansion tanks, pumps, and controls; troubleshoot and repair system problems; and, avoid common errors and mishaps.Radiant heating is hot!
More and more customers want in-floor radiant heat because of these benefits: low cost operation, installation, and equipment; healthy and cozy warmth for lower body without overheating upper body; quieter and cleaner than forced air systems; and, can be combined with hot water heating for additional savings.
