Can anyone tell me if radiant pipe systems are common in Ontario? And if so, Are outside temperature controls used?

    radiant heating controls

    There are many radiant heating systems in Ontario. tekmar Control Systems manufactures controls that provide outdoor reset to radiant heating systems.

    Our representative in Ontario is Hydronic Systems Canada based in Toronto. Their phone number is 416-675-7651. You can contact them if you have any questions regarding radiant heating.

    If you are interested in outdoor reset controls, information is available on the tekmar website: www.tekmarcontrols.com

    Radiant floor systems are becoming more popular in Ontario each year.

    There are some (many) contractors who will install systems without proper controls and that includes outdoor sensors. Pardon me for saying so but in Ontario with the variability of the climate in fall and spring, those contractors and their customers who forego outdoor resets are nuts. Outdoor sensors will pay for themselves in less than 2 years and in most cases in less than 1 year.

    Are you looking at a retrofit or new construction?
