What are "combined" and "separate" radiant heating systems?   A combined hydronic radiant heating system used the same tank to heat both the water for showers and sinks and the water that is circulated in a closed loop to heat your home or office.  A separate radiant heating system has one tank or boiler for the space heating and another for the domestic hot water.

What is a radiant barrier?  A radiant barrier is a layer of metallic foil that blocks radiated heat, assisting in the energy performance of a home.  It significantly reduces attic temperatures in the summer.  If your cooling ducts are in the attic you will see an improvement in the cooling of your home.
