Radiance Heating And Plumbing, Inc.

About Us

Leaders in solar thermal & renewable energy Radiance Heating and Plumbing, Inc. is achieving solar fractions (the amount of energy the sun provides of the total annual load) significantly higher than the industry standard. The usual advice is "aim for 40%". They aim for - and achieve - solar fractions near 75%. As fuel prices climb ever higher, it just makes sense to leverage the same controller, pump, piping and storage tanks to gather and use more free energy. They have the expertise to create "net zero" buildings, including the heating system (buildings that use no fossil energy use on an annual basis).

Thanks to their innovative designs and fanatical attention to details and service, their customers are saving thousands of dollars each and every year. They are published in Contractor magazine and consult on projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In Northern Arizona they design and install energy saving heating systems using the sun as the ultimate heat source. This includes solar water heaters, boilers, combined space and water heating and ground source heat pumps. They have developed integration techniques for many systems including:

• Radiant floors
• Baseboards
• Radiators
• Forced air heating systems
