“The closer we get to a virtuous circle, in which our work, our home life, our ethics and our spirituality are mutually reinforcing, the closer we will be to achieving genuine sustainability”
- James Wilsdon
We provide complete system design, consulting services, control assemblies, and wholesale parts. Our experience allows us to give you the most affordable, comfortable, and efficient designs and parts at the best value around.
System Design
Estimates from a Planset or Sketch
We provide detailed estimates with options separated out so you can see what your alternatives are and what they would cost.Complete HVAC System Design
Our designs incorporate the best solar, geothermal, and radiant heating techniques we have developed over the years. We use these techniques to design integrated radiant heating, radiant cooling, A/C, and ventilation with proven installation techniques, controls and control strategy, heat source options, and integration with solar and geothermal energy systems. There is no need for compromising radiant comfort with a conventional A/C system.Proper Heat Source Sizing
Current construction methods and materials reduce infiltration and heat loss. Our radiant heating systems optimize occupancy comfort, thermal mass storage and continuous circulation resulting in low delivery system temperatures. Less heat loss and lower operating temperatures require smaller heat sources, and we know how to integrate systems with condensing water heaters, geothermal, wood, and solar thermal storage.Radiant Floors
Our systems utilize radiant floors because they offer the best value in health, comfort, and energy savings. Read the Radiant section for more information.Synergistic Design
The system is more than the sum of its parts. Our designs utilize advanced control technology, energy saving radiant floors, and energy efficient sources. Not only do we integrate these components, we combine them in a way that they contribute to the whole. We squeeze every bit of energy we can from each part of the system in a way that maximizes health, comfort, and efficiency.Documentation
We provide extensive system documentation including custom scaled tubing lay-out, installation cutaways, tubing cutting lists, design specifications, detailed plumbing diagrams depicting controls and tie-in from heat source, and point to point wiring diagrams.
Control Assemblies
Custom Control Boards
Take the guesswork out of the job and replace expensive sitework with a crafted and pre-tested assembly of hydronic components and their controls! Our pre-assembled systems allow “Plumb & Play” installation, greatly simplifying a complex task. Mechanical and electrical controls are labeled so technicians and homeowners can identify important operating characteristics without having to refer to a diagram.Advanced Control Technology
Outdoor and indoor responsive controls are a critical component to achieving comfort and efficient operation of most radiant systems. We customize the control system to best suit the project considering comfort, efficiency and budget requirements. Better controls can often reduce the cost of the system and eliminate or minimize flow balancing requirements!
Comprehensive Inventory
Highest Quality Parts
We supply crosslinked polyethylene tubing (PEX) and other system components from the Wirsbo Company, the oldest and largest radiant tubing manufacturer in the world. Their exclusive Engel method production of PEX is of the highest quality, and more flexible than others. With its shape memory, tubing kinks are easily removed, and the unique Propex fitting system provides dynamic self tightening.Complete supply
The full range of tubing types, diameters, and coil sizes are available from our warehouse or direct shipped from the factory, including larger diameters for distribution piping We can supply the right tubing for a complete job, and ship on time to any project site.Custom cut pipe
Piping is provided on an order to order basis and custom cut at no extra charge. You do not have to purchase standard size rolls which result in wasted footage and extra expense.Tool Rental
Tubing uncoiler, wire tie twisters, pipe cutters, pneumatic staplers for tubing or aluminum plates, expander tools and manifold wrenches are available for a small rental fee.
Value
Technical Assistance
We have experienced technical personnel available for phone consultation. On site technical assistance for installation, commissioning, or service is available as needed at reasonable rates.Competitive Pricing
Through value engineering, custom cutting, accurate installation diagrams and layouts, one source component supply, direct shipments, competitive pricing, and technical support we offer a high value system at exceptional prices. Our goal is to make the system more fully packaged and within budget requirements without sacrificing system efficiency or comfort!Experience
We have been involved in thousands of successful underfloor heating projects from small efficient residential to large scale commercial buildings across the country. We have the long term field experience to know what works, in all types of installations with radiant systems in operation for many years.
