The comfort of radiant heating


Choosing radiant heating for your home or business is one that is best observed while in a sitting position.  Adding the comfort of radiant to your heating system is a decision you will love while you are enjoying the comfort, but may hestiate to add when the cost of the installation is revealed.  A properly designed and installed radiant heating system with the all important "smart" control system will be an investment (an investment in comfort and economy of operation).  I approach the addition of radiant to a home in stages, a basic installation to a more expansive coverage of the floor plan.  Clients often come to me desiring radiant throughout the home, only to scale back to a more realistic coverage of the areas where the comfort will be enjoyed the most (bathrooms, kitchen, tile floors, living room). 

   I enjoy radiant heating in select areas of my home and would NEVER consider living in a home without it (especially with tile or stone floors).  It adds such an ambiance of warmth that it is hard to imagine walking on a cold floor again.  The key to accepting the added cost is to design the heating system into the budget early. Getting us on board early will allow you to benefit from our experience  and expertise in home energy management and blend these details into the design before it is too late. Our ability to help you build a better home has won over numerous clients and fueled our referral business from these legions of happy customers!


Orchard Valley Heating and Cooling has been presented with two national design / installation  awards this past year!  A Radiant Panel Association System Showcase award  and most recently, a Contracting Business magazine "Quality Home Comfort Award" for a radiant / hydro-air residence in Heath Mass.  This remarkable home was designed by Austin Design of Colrain MASS (413-624-9669) and features an amazing indoor lap pool. Take a look at the awards page for more info.
This is the 7th first place award in the past 8 years. If you are in the market for quality- you are at the right place!!
