Hydronics Services | Comfort Through Water-Based HVAC Systems

Your Trusted Comfort Advisor for Hydronics Solutions in South Central Ohio

At Accurate Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we specialize in hydronics systems that deliver superior comfort and energy efficiency for your commercial and residential properties. As your local, veteran-owned comfort advisor, we bring decades of expertise to water-based heating and cooling solutions.

What is Hydronics?

Hydronics is a proven heating and cooling technology that uses water to transfer thermal energy throughout your building. Unlike traditional refrigerant-based systems, hydronics circulates heated or chilled water through a network of pipes, coils, and air handlers to maintain optimal comfort levels year-round.

Key Components:

• Boilers (heating systems over 199,000 BTUs)
• Chillers (cooling systems)
• Pumps and circulation systems
• Heat exchangers and coils
• Air handlers and ductwork
• Cooling towers

Protect Your Investment with Professional Hydronics Maintenance

Your hydronics system represents a significant investment in comfort and efficiency. Like any sophisticated mechanical system, it requires expert maintenance to deliver peak performance and maximize its lifespan.

What Our Maintenance Programs Include:

• Flow optimization - Ensuring proper water circulation and pressure throughout your system
• Heat exchanger cleaning - Removing debris and buildup that reduces efficiency
• Pump inspection and adjustment - Verifying suction and discharge pressures
• Boiler and chiller maintenance - Comprehensive safety and performance checks
• Water quality testing - Monitoring pH levels and treating for corrosion prevention
• Control system calibration - Fine-tuning thermostats and automated controls
• Safety inspections - Carbon monoxide testing and pressure vessel checks

The Cost of Neglect: Without proper maintenance, hydronics systems can experience reduced efficiency, premature equipment failure, and safety hazards. Regular maintenance prevents these costly problems while ensuring reliable comfort year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if hydronics is right for my building? A: Hydronics works best for larger buildings, multi-story structures, or properties requiring precise temperature control. Our experts provide free consultations to evaluate your specific needs.

Q: Can you convert our existing refrigerant system to hydronics? A: Yes! We've successfully converted refrigerant systems to hydronics for improved efficiency and reliability. We'll assess your current system and provide conversion options.

Q: Why is hydronics maintenance different from regular HVAC maintenance? A: Hydronics systems operate under specific pressures (typically 85-100 pounds) and require specialized knowledge of water chemistry, flow dynamics, and heat transfer principles. Our certified technicians understand these unique requirements.

Q: What happens during a hydronics maintenance visit? A: Our 21-point inspection includes checking pump operation, testing water quality, cleaning heat exchangers, calibrating controls, inspecting safety systems, and optimizing system performance for maximum efficiency.

Q: How can I tell if my hydronics system needs maintenance? A: Warning signs include uneven heating/cooling, unusual noises from pumps, increased energy bills, or visible leaks. However, many issues develop gradually, which is why preventative maintenance is essential.

Q: Can hydronics help with humidity control? A: Absolutely. Hydronics systems provide superior humidity control compared to traditional HVAC systems, especially important for commercial applications.
