Cooling Options with Radiant
Not too long ago if you wanted cooling in a radiant heated house, you would need to either buy a redundant and costly ducted forced air cooling system, use whole house fans or swamp coolers – or do without.
Gas or oil-fired radiant heating systems that require cooling can use super efficient mini-split systems for spot cooling or, again, go to a whole house cooling system (expensive).
A better option is to use a geothermal or air-to-water hydronic heat pump that generates chilled water that can be used for cooling. This chilled water can be distributed in different ways.
Radiant ceiling cooling is the most effective and efficient way to cool a building using hydronic heat pumps. These systems require effective coordination of ceiling panels, integrated controls and ventilation. This is a specialty field dominated by our friends at Messana. Call them for your hydronic cooling applications.

Fan Convectors: A new generation of super-efficient and quiet non-ducted fan convectors are now available for chilled water cooling. These can be used for spot cooling and whole house solutions connected by PEX tubing to the mechanical room thus eliminating ducting. There are many low visual impact “in-wall” and “on the wall” solutions from different manufacturers. Note: We do not directly sell fan convectors.
Air Handlers: More conventional ducted chilled water air handlers can also be used for both spot cooling and whole house air conditioning. These can be integrated with ventilation and HRV systems. Note: We do not sell air handlers.
The information on this page is provided as a description of current trends in radiant heating and related equipment. We are not providing engineering advice for any particular project. The mechanical contractor and mechanical engineer can assess the different options available and apply them as they think is best for a particular project and client.
