hot water heating
Boiler-based climate control
Hot water heating is a system that warms buildings by circulating heated water through pipes to radiators, baseboard units, or radiant floor tubing.
The water absorbs heat from a boiler, carries it throughout the structure, then returns to be reheated.
Also called hydronic heating.
The old brownstone still has its original hot water heating system.
