Planning water coil purchases ahead of time – does switching from steam heat to hot water heat make sense?

Hot water coils may not be on your mind today, while it’s still warm out, but it never hurts to plan ahead. Since we have customers who switch from steam heat / steam coil systems to hot water heat / hot water coil systems, I wanted to share common reasons people make the switch.

Energy efficiency: Buildings heated by steam use more energy than buildings with hot water systems, because the boiler must heat the water to the point it becomes steam. The higher temperature takes more energy than heating water just enough for a hot water system. We offer a wide selection of hot water coils for the new system.

Comfort: Uneven heating is often a problem in steam-heated buildings because the system cannot be separated into zones, like office suites. With hot water heating, buildings can be separated into zones, allowing individuals to regulate the temperature within their own zone.

Ordering hot water coils in advance saves you time and money. If you are thinking about making the switch from steam heat to hot water heat, contact us for more information about the best hot water coil option.
