Hydronic Design and Engineering in Denver

Design that drives comfort

Advanced Hydronics designs hydronic systems that fit the building, the finishes, and the way people live. We support owners, builders, and architects across Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs with precise calculations and clear documentation that bring comfort and performance together. Every project—new construction, retrofit, or equipment replacement—starts with a solid design that guides the entire process.

What our design includes

Each plan begins with accurate load calculations, zoning strategy, and emitter selection. We size boilers or heat pumps, design control layouts, and organize mechanical rooms so installation and service remain straightforward.

  • Detailed heat loss and gain calculations
  • Zoning plans with manifolds located for access and balance
  • Assembly selections for slab, overpour, under-joist, or panel systems
  • Equipment schedules with boiler or heat pump specifications
  • Control strategies with outdoor reset and integrated sensors

Why engineering matters

Sound engineering eliminates temperature swings, protects finishes, and keeps systems operating efficiently year after year. Whether it’s guiding a new build, upgrading an older boiler, or modernizing a radiant system, a clear plan streamlines installation, supports inspections, and simplifies future maintenance.

  • Predictable comfort in every zone
  • Lower operating costs with matched water temperatures
  • Easier service through organized layouts and labeled components
  • Documentation that supports permits, rebates, and long-term reliability

Design Questions, Clearly Answered

  • What’s included in a hydronic design package?

    Each design includes detailed load calculations, zoning layouts, emitter selections, equipment schedules, and control strategies. We also provide clear documentation for your builder, mechanical contractor, and inspectors to keep coordination simple.

  • How do you coordinate design with other trades?

    We share drawings and specifications early in the process, then stay in touch through framing, mechanical rough-in, and finish stages. Coordination with your builder and HVAC contractor ensures our system fits seamlessly within the overall plan.

  • Can you design for both new and existing homes?

    Yes. We provide complete designs for new construction, remodels, retrofits, and equipment replacements. Each plan is based on actual site conditions, finish materials, and the way the home is used.

  • How long does the design process take?

    Typical design timelines range from one to three weeks depending on project size and complexity. Early access to architectural or as-built plans helps us begin calculations quickly and avoid schedule delays.

  • What happens after design is complete?

    We review the design with your builder and begin scheduling installation. During construction, our team verifies each stage of the layout to ensure the system matches the plan and performs as expected.

  • Do you offer design services without installation?

    No. We only design systems that we install. Our engineering process ensures that every plan is built to our standards for performance, safety, and long-term reliability. This approach keeps accountability clear and results consistent.
