Boiler-fed radiant heat — repair, maintenance, and new zones
Radiant systems are uncommon in new construction but still run in older Carlsbad homes. We service the boilers, circulators, and zone valves that keep them working.
Homeowners who switch to radiant heating typically cut their energy bills by 20 to 30 percent. That's not marketing fluff. These systems heat from the floor up, warming objects and people directly instead of blowing hot air through leaky ductwork. Less heat loss means lower bills. And in a mild climate like Carlsbad's, radiant heating is especially efficient because it doesn't need to fight extreme cold to keep your home comfortable.
Radiant heating works by running warm water through PEX tubing installed beneath your floors. That's hydronic heating, and it's the most common and most efficient type for whole-home use. Electric heating mats are another option, mainly for single rooms like bathrooms. Jack's Plumbing and Heating installs, repairs, and maintains these systems for Carlsbad homeowners, and we've been doing it for 35 years. Heating is in our company name for a reason.
