Other hydronic systems for Denver homes

Specialized Hydronic Systems

Plumbing and heating system with copper pipes, a black tank, and silver water heater in a basement.

Some homes need more than standard heating. Advanced Hydronics designs specialty systems for comfort, control, and safety across every season. From snow-melted driveways to legacy steam systems, fan coils, and hydronic cooling, we bring modern engineering to unique applications throughout Denver and the mountain regions.

Snow Melt Systems

Clear paths, safe entries


Heated driveways, walks, and steps activate automatically when sensors detect moisture and freezing temperatures. These systems prevent ice buildup on steep grades and shaded areas while reducing the need for salt and manual shoveling. Learn More About Snow Melt Systems

Steam Heating

Classic comfort with modern control


Hydronic fan coils provide both heating and cooling from a single coil and blower assembly. They’re ideal for basements, additions, or multifamily units where ductwork is limited but precise temperature control is essential.

Pool and Spa Heating

Year-round comfort beyond the walls


Hydronic pool and spa systems use efficient boilers or heat exchangers to maintain a steady water temperature without excessive energy use. We design systems that integrate with your existing mechanical setup for consistent, reliable warmth, perfect for extending swim seasons and keeping spas ready in every Denver climate.

Hydronic Cooling

Quiet comfort without full ductwork


Chilled-water systems use the same hydronic principles to deliver cooling through radiant floors or fan coils. They operate quietly, reduce air movement, and can be paired with geothermal or air-to-water heat pumps for efficient, low-profile comfort.

Wine Room Cooling

Precise temperature and humidity control


Custom hydronic cooling systems maintain the stable conditions fine wine requires. We design quiet, vibration-free solutions that protect collections while blending seamlessly into cellar architecture, ensuring both performance and presentation stay exceptional.

Specialty Hydronic Applications Explained

  • Are snow melt systems automatic or manual?

    Most systems operate automatically. Sensors detect both temperature and moisture, activating only when needed to minimize energy use while keeping paths clear and safe.

  • Do you service or upgrade existing steam systems?

    Yes. We work on one- and two-pipe steam systems, balancing radiators, replacing failed vents, and upgrading controls for quiet, even heat. Our goal is to maintain the system’s character while improving reliability and efficiency.

  • Can fan coils provide both heating and cooling?

    They can. Fan coils circulate hydronic water for heating in winter and chilled water for cooling in summer. When paired with the right boiler or heat pump, they deliver efficient year-round comfort in compact spaces.

  • How does hydronic cooling compare to traditional air conditioning?

    Hydronic cooling delivers comfort without high air velocity or noise. It uses chilled water through radiant panels or fan coils to create consistent, gentle cooling, which also reduces air movement and dust circulation.

  • What makes wine room cooling different from standard HVAC?

    Wine storage requires precise temperature and humidity control, typically between 55°F and 60°F with stable moisture levels. Hydronic systems achieve this quietly and evenly, protecting cork integrity and bottle labels without vibration or temperature swings.
