What type of maintenance do radiant heat systems require?
Hydronic radiant heat systems circulate hot water through piping around the home, so these systems require boilers, pumps and valves. Boilers and pumps are the items most likely to require maintenance over time. Boilers and boiler components will eventually “wear out” just as hot air furnaces eventually wear out and need replacing, and pumps generally have a life span of about 10 years.
