For anyone else wondering what hydronic heating is, it's using warm water as your main heat source. Either using radiators, or tubing in the floor to heat a room.

This contrasts against the more common American method of using hot air to heat a home. I believe air heating is more common in the US because AC systems already require the relevant air ducting, so it's easier to install.

Meanwhile here in NL airconditioning is very rare, and 95% of people use a gas fired water heater and metal radidators in rooms for heat distribution.

i would go as far as to say that nobody in continental europe knows the term 'hydronic', it's just heating, maybe central heating.
