What is Hydronic?

Hydronics is the use of water or another liquid heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. In residential and commercial settings, hydronic systems are commonly used for space heating (radiators, baseboard heaters, radiant floor heating) and cooling. Industrial applications include process heating and cooling. Water has a high specific heat capacity, making it efficient for transferring heat over distances. Antifreeze solutions are often added for freeze protection in colder climates.
