Radiant heat is the ultimate in luxury and comfort. This is a 9 available Zone Hydronic hot water radiant heating system powered by a Weil McLain ultra aluminum heat exchange gas boiler. Except for the lower level the entire house is powered by this system. Radiant floor heating is a low maintenance, energy efficient heating system that involves installing a network of water tubes beneath your floor surface (encased in a layer of cement between floors in this house. Unlike traditional forced air heating systems that rely on vents and ducts, radiant floor heating directly warms the floor itself, which then radiates gentle heat upwards, evenly distributing warmth throughout the entire space. Radiant floor heat doesn't push dust or allergens throughout the room. radiant floor heat is silent and will not produce any noise when the system is running, and no hot spots or cold spots, just gentle warming. The system is supplemented with an Aprilaire whole house steam humidifier located in the media/family room producing a wonderful warm atmosphere during the winter months. Two zones on each of the top two floors, and three on main level. Cooling system is a Unico high velocity Heat Pump system that is very efficient at taking out the humidity in the air in summer. Serenity, space, privacy, comfort and beauty are the hallmarks of this truly remarkable home. Call with any questions.
