You are literally getting a much better system for a lot less money. It is one of the very few exceptions to the rule that better things cost more. It is arguably the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly heating system in the world. When domestic hot water is wanted, water flows out of the tank and goes to the fixture. When floor heat is called for, the pump comes on and water flows out of the tank, through the radiant floor heating zone and back to the tank.

It is one single system that operates in two different and distinct ways. The Open Direct Radiant System offers unprecedented efficiency with a highly affordable first cost and is our preferred system of all radiant heating systems. The “Open Direct System” is a significant breakthrough in radiant heating design. One is the indirect system that uses a heat exchanger and the other is the direct system that does not. There are two systems to choose from that provide domestic hot water and space heating from the same unit.

You can use the same water heater for your radiant heating system that you use for domestic hot water!
