What is hydronic systems?

Hydronic systems use water or another liquid heat-transfer medium, such as glycol, to heat or cool buildings. The fluid is heated or cooled in a central boiler or chiller and then circulated through pipes to radiators, underfloor heating systems, or fan coil units in different parts of the building. They are commonly used for space heating and cooling in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, offering efficient and controllable temperature regulation.
