Though it takes longer to warm up a room or home with hot water heating systems, the temperature is a lot more measured and controlled. There are no warm or cold drafts as is the case with hot air heating systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hot water heating systems require less space. There is no duct work to hang between floor joists or even worse below them, as is the case with hot air heating systems. In addition, the size of a hot water heating system is commonly smaller than a hot air system. Hot air heating systems require large plenums and fans to circulate the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hot water heating systems typically are better suited for people with allergies, as there is less dust blown around with hot water heating systems.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01A8HG8AK\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B01A8HG8AK&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=eac7e97c2ec89311075e4557349316af\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B01A8HG8AK&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B01A8HG8AK\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is also typically easier to have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/plumbing\/hydronic-zone-valve-video\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">multiple heating zones<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> within a home when using hot water heating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Simple zone valves, each controlled by their own thermostat ,can be installed near the hot water furnace to provide independent heating in different areas of the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hot water heating systems can also provide potable hot water via tankless hot water heating systems that hang off the hot water heating system boiler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Hot Air Heating Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When comparing hot air heating versus hot water heating systems one also needs to consider the disadvantages of each.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are a few disadvantages of hot air heating systems. First, they take up a lot of space. If you have plans to finish a basement that contains hot air heating ductwork, you may end up with some low headroom ceiling areas. Ductwork also needs to be sandwiched in between wall studs, and there needs to be heat output registers and return registers installed in floors and walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hot air heating also can be drafty as warm and cool air are blown throughout the home. Hot air heating can also be dusty, as dust particles can be blown around the home. This can be of particular concern for people with airborne allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Separate hot water heating needs to be included, which adds to the overall cost of providing hot air\/water heating to the home.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9593\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hot_Air_Heating_System-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Air Heating System Furnace\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hot_Air_Heating_System-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hot_Air_Heating_System-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Hot Water Heating Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The major concern with hot water heating systems is the risk of burst or leaky pipes.
