Chad did an excellent job. He was prompt, worked quickly, and left the work area cleaner than when he arrived. South Side Plumbing & Heating, regardless of who does the job, always performs at or above expectation. I have been a customer for many years personally and professionally and recommend them highly.

- Radiant systems are generally two to three times more expensive than forced air to install, but they can be up to 40% more energy efficient
- A wide variety of energy sources can be used with hydronic systems. From standard gas boilers to solar water heaters
- Hydronic radiant floors – These systems are the most cost-effective and popular for radiant heating systems for heating-dominated climates. Heated water in these systems is pumped from a boiler through tubing that is laid out in a pattern in the floor. Through zoning valves or pumps, the temperature can be regulated
