*In-floor hydronic (must be left on nearly all the time, because they take a while to heat up). These systems require the use of a boiler system. These are a great way to heat shops, garage space that see's lots of painting or chemicle storage because the boiler is usually located inside the home or in an enclosed mechanicle room in the building. You can heat your house and garage this way beacuse there is no air transfer. | *In-floor hydronic (must be left on nearly all the time, because they take a while to heat up).
