Hydronic Radiant Heating Services in Oakland
Reliable Heating Repair & Installation Services
When it comes to heating your home, you have many options. Not all options heat in the same manner, and different types of heaters offer various benefits and drawbacks. Many homes have traditional furnaces that offer forced hot air that will dry out your home, bother your sinuses, and even cause damage to your furniture. Radiant heating offers a different approach to heating your home, and Big Blue Plumbing is thoroughly experienced with these units.
Radiant heating keeps your home warm by heating tile and wood floors from the ground up. They don’t use fans or blowers and minimize wasted energy. Our Oakland hydronic radiant heating plumbers can install, repair, and provide maintenance for your heaters so that you always remain comfortable.
You can call us at (510) 939-7870 to schedule time with our team.

What Is Hydronic Radiant Heating?
Hydronic radiant heating is a fantastic method of heating your home. It uses water as a heat transfer fluid. Typically, hydronic radiant heating systems are installed under the floor, allowing warm water to radiate upward into the living space.
This heating system offers direct, consistent heat transfer, creating an even distribution of warmth throughout your living space.
You can combine hydronic heating with different energy sources, such as solar power or geothermal heating, allowing you to reduce your overall carbon footprint.
Benefits of Hydronic Radiant Heating Include
- Ease of operation
- Minimal required maintenance
- Elimination of cold spots in your home
- Decreased utility bills as a result of increased efficiency
- Space savings as a result of not having radiators on the walls
Of course, there are also some drawbacks to these units. Radiant heating requires:
- Higher installation costs
- Longer installation time
- Raising the floor height by up to ½ inch
- We also have experience installing dust- and allergen-free styles of heating units.
