What Is a Hydronic Heating System?
A hydronic heating system uses hot water circulated through pipes to deliver heat to living spaces. Unlike forced-air systems that push heated air through ducts, hydronic systems heat via radiant heat transfer — often described as the most comfortable type of home heating. Common hydronic system types in Greater Vancouver homes include:
- Hot water radiators — cast iron or panel radiators common in pre-1960s Vancouver homes
- Baseboard convectors — hot water fin-tube baseboard heaters
- Radiant floor heating — PEX tubing embedded in concrete or under subfloor
- Fan coil units — hydronic air handlers that distribute heat through a home’s ductwork

- What is a hydronic air handler and can ROMA service one?
- A hydronic air handler (also called a water-to-air heat exchanger or fan coil unit) uses hot water from a boiler to heat air that is then distributed through ductwork — combining the comfort of hydronic heat with the air distribution of a forced-air system. ROMA services all hydronic air handlers including the Bell & Gossett, Unico, and Fantech product lines.
- Why does one room in my home stay cold when I have hydronic heating?
- Common causes of one cold zone in a hydronic system: (1) failed zone valve — not opening to allow flow; (2) air lock in that zone — air bubble blocking water circulation; (3) blocked or damaged radiator/baseboard; (4) circulation pump delivering insufficient pressure. ROMA diagnoses zone heating faults accurately on-site.
- Can I add radiant floor heating to an existing hydronic boiler system?
- Yes — existing hot water boiler systems can often be extended to feed new radiant floor zones. This typically involves adding a mixing valve (to lower the floor temperature to safe levels), a new zone pump, manifold, and PEX tubing. ROMA can assess your existing system’s capacity and design the expansion.
- How do I stop my hydronic system from making gurgling or banging noises?
- Gurgling typically indicates air in the system — an automatic air vent or manual bleeding at each radiator/baseboard usually resolves it. Banging (kettling) typically indicates scale buildup in the heat exchanger — a chemical descaling treatment or heat exchanger replacement may be needed. ROMA diagnoses and resolves all hydronic noise issues.
- Does ROMA install condensing boilers for hydronic systems?
- Yes — ROMA installs high-efficiency condensing boilers (Navien, Viessmann, NTI, IBC, Rinnai) for new and replacement hydronic system installations. Condensing boilers operate most efficiently at low water temperatures, making them ideal for radiant floor systems (typical operating temp 40–55°C vs. 70–80°C for radiators).
