Jim Godbout Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is very diverse when it comes to heating, we install just about everything you can imagine. Radiant heating is our specialty using constant circulation with VIESSMANN weather responsive controls. This is the most comfortable heat on the market today. Radiant Heating is also much more efficient than conventional heating systems because it uses lower boiler temperatures. This technology has been around for quite some time, but few people really understand the advantages.

Why is radiant heat more comfortable?
Because radiant heat is like the sun's heat. It travels through the air until it finds an object. Most conventional systems rely on convective heating, which relies on heating the air, and creating a natural convection. Have you ever crawled into a bed that seemed rather chilly under the covers? That's what happens with convective heating - the air is warm, not the surrounding objects.

How is radiant heat more efficient?
Radiant heat uses a lower boiler temperature, which equates to lower fuel bills. A properly designed radiant heating system, depending on the flooring, will operate at around 130° F, whereas the average heating system is designed to circulate water between 180° F to 200° F. (you can safely figure 1% fuel saving for every 3° F you can lower the system temperature)

This is why we emphasize boiler modulation from weather responsive controls. If everyone did this we could reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption by 20-40% in every home and business in America.

We also install all traditional heating systems such as:

Hydronic baseboard heat such as HAYDON
Hydronic radiators of any type such as RUNTAL & Baisi
Hydronic boilers by American Standard
Warm air heating by American Standard HVAC
Hydro air with variable speed American Standard HVAC products
Steam goilers by Peerless and Burnham
