RADIANT FLOORS AND HYDRONIC RADIATORS

Properly designed and installed hydronic heating will provide years of incomparable comfort in homes and commercial buildings. The water inside circulates in a “close loop system” meaning it’s a sealed system under pressure at 12 to 15 psi. During the heating season the water gets constantly heated. Many hydronic systems are designed and installed with an indirect water tank to supply the domestic hot water as well. In this case the indirect tank would replace your conventional hot water tank and provide you with a much faster recovery rate. At MICA Energy Solutions inc. we design our own hydronic systems to be very efficient, specific to our customers needs and we use high quality materials. The main advantages of a hydronic heating system are:

• Excellent comfort
• Out of sight installation: giving you more head room especially in your basement.
• Clean heating: dust, bacteria and allergens will not be circulating around the house like in a forced air system.
• It is a very quiet operating system
• It can be zoned
• Dose not cause air stratification
• It has constant hot water
• It is a very cost efficient system: 10 times less heat loss from piping when compared to duct.

As for the heating source, almost all hydronic systems use a boiler with an optional indirect tank. We also install and supply Uponor products, Stelrads and Amercraft hydronic radiators.

SNOW MELTING SYSTEMS

Snow melting systems are installed for convenience in residential applications such as driveways, pathways, steps, ramps, porches, green houses and in necessity areas like car washes, aircraft hangars, railway platforms, etc...

Our glycol filled systems are designed with zones in order for our customers to control the amount of energy spent on melting and eliminate areas without shutting the entire system down. Proper design, insulation, drainage, loop patterns, zoning and system controls are essential factors to a snow melting system.

BOILERS

The following are some of the boiler brands we install, service and supply Viessmann, Triangle Tube, Weil McLain, Lochinvar, IBC, etc...

TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

Tankless water heaters are one of the fastest growing applications of domestic water heating. Some of the main disadvantages of a conventional water heater are rust and scale build-up in the interior of the tank, where the hot water you use day-to-day for bathing and drinking is stored.  With a tankless water heater you’ll always experience fresh, clean hot water because it heats the water instantly as it passes through the unit. A tankless unit occupies approximately 90% less space than a conventional water heater, is 86% to 98% efficient depending on the unit and model, and can provide up to 3.7 gallons of hot water per minute. We install, service and supply the following brands: Rinnai, Navien, Bradford White, etc...

AIR HANDLERS

An air handler is used to condition and circulate air as part of a heating, cooling and ventilating system. It contains a blower, heating and/or cooling elements, a filter rack or compartment, sound attenuators, and dampers. The air handler can be an up flow air handler, down flow air handler, or horizontal flow air handler. Air handlers are connected to ductwork that distributes the conditioned air through the building, and returns it back to the unit. It can work in combination with a boiler as a hydronic heating application and can replace your forced air furnace as a heating source. We supply and install Rinnai, Goodman, Ecologix, etc...
