Preserving the past while modernizing the heat of historic homes
In short: Discover how to integrate vintage aesthetics with modern efficiency. This video demonstrates a specialized plumbing technique to repurpose antique radiators into a functional, multi-zone hydronic heating system.
Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey demonstrates a conversion process at the Newton Centre house project. The goal is to maintain the architectural integrity of a home by using old radiators while upgrading the underlying infrastructure to support multi-zone hydronic heat. This approach allows for precise temperature control across different areas of a building without sacrificing historical character.
