Can I retrofit my existing system for cascading?

Yes! Many properties can be upgraded to a cascading system by replacing the existing boiler or adding NextGen units. Our experts can assess your property and recommend the best solution.

How many boilers can I cascade together?

The number of boilers you can cascade depends on your specific heating demands and project goals. NextGen systems offer a high degree of flexibility, so whether you need two units or a larger configuration, you’re covered.

Is boiler cascading cost-effective?

Absolutely. While the initial installation might have a slightly higher cost due to multiple units, the energy savings, scalability, and reliability provide excellent long-term value.

What is the purpose of estimating heating requirements in a radiant floor system?

Estimating heating requirements in a radiant floor system is essential to match the heating output of the floor with the heat loss of the building. This ensures optimal efficiency and comfort in space heating.

What does BTU stand for and what does it measure?

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit and it measures the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

What is the heat loss per square foot for a building with “good” insulation?

A building with “good” insulation typically experiences a heat loss of 0.3 BTUs per hour per square foot for each degree Fahrenheit temperature difference. This efficient insulation significantly reduces energy waste and enhances comfort.

FAQWhat floor temperature is adequate to produce 27 BTUs per hour?

A floor temperature of 80°F is adequate to produce 27 BTUs per hour.

What should be done if there is uncertainty about getting enough heat from the radiant floor?

If there is uncertainty about achieving sufficient heat from the radiant floor, it is advisable to implement energy efficiency measures to reduce heat loss, explore alternative radiant heating methods, or consider supplemental heating sources. Such strategies can enhance heating performance and ensure comfort.
