Walsh Electrical: Advanced Heating and Energy Solutions
At Walsh Electrical, we are committed to offering innovative and energy-efficient solutions that enhance the comfort and sustainability of your home. Our latest offering combines hydronic in-slab heating with HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) systems and solar energy solutions, creating an integrated system that is incredibly economical to run.
Hydronic In-Slab Heating Systems
Our hydronic in-slab heating systems are designed to provide consistent and efficient warmth throughout your home. By circulating heated water through pipes embedded in your floor, this system delivers even heat distribution, creating a comfortable living environment without the dry air associated with traditional heating methods.
HRV Ventilation Systems
Paired with our hydronic heating, we offer HRV ventilation systems that improve indoor air quality while recovering heat energy that would otherwise be lost. The HRV system exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, recovering heat from the outgoing air to warm the incoming air, thereby maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment without additional energy costs.
Solar Energy Integration
To maximize energy efficiency and reduce running costs, we integrate our heating and ventilation systems with advanced solar energy solutions. Our solar panels harness renewable energy from the sun, significantly lowering your reliance on grid electricity. By combining solar energy with our efficient heating and ventilation systems, you can enjoy substantial savings on your energy bills.
Benefits of Our Integrated System

Heat pump hydronic heating
How Hydronic Heating Works
Hydronic heating is a highly efficient method of heating that uses water to distribute heat throughout a residential or commercial space. Here’s a detailed explanation of how this system works:
1. Central Heat Source
At the heart of a hydronic heating system is the central heat source, which can be a boiler, heat pump, or solar thermal collector. This unit heats water to a desired temperature.
2. Distribution Network
The heated water is circulated through a closed-loop system of pipes. These pipes are typically made of durable materials such as PEX or copper and run throughout the building to various heat emitters.
3. Heat Emitters
The heat emitters can vary based on the design of the system and the specific heating needs. Common types of emitters include:
– Radiators: These are wall-mounted units that radiate heat into the room.
– Underfloor Heating: Pipes laid beneath the floor surface evenly distribute heat, creating a warm floor that radiates heat upwards.
– Towel Rails: Heated towel rails provide warmth to bathrooms and keep towels dry and warm.
– Concrete Slabs: In some systems, pipes are embedded in concrete slabs, which act as large thermal masses to store and radiate heat over time.
4. Control System
A thermostat or a series of thermostats control the hydronic heating system. These devices regulate the temperature by turning the heat source on and off and adjusting the flow of heated water to maintain the desired room temperature.
5. Energy Efficiency
Hydronic systems are highly efficient because water is an excellent conductor of heat. The system can also integrate with renewable energy sources, such as solar thermal panels, to heat the water, further enhancing energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
6. Chilled Water for Cooling
In addition to heating, some hydronic systems can also provide cooling. Chilled water is circulated through the same network of pipes to absorb and remove heat from the interior spaces during warmer months.
Benefits of Hydronic Heating
– Comfort: Provides even and consistent heat distribution, avoiding the drafts and dry air often associated with forced-air systems.
– Efficiency: Uses water, which has a high heat capacity, making the system very energy-efficient.
– Versatility: Can be used for both heating and cooling when integrated with appropriate systems.
– Quiet Operation: Hydronic systems operate quietly, as there are no fans or blowers.
– Healthier Air Quality: Reduces the circulation of dust and allergens since it doesn’t rely on forced air.

Hydronic heat pump specialists
Hydronic heat pumps are innovative heating and cooling systems that utilize water as a medium to transfer heat. Here’s how they work and some of their benefits:
1. Operation: Hydronic heat pumps work by extracting heat from a water source, such as a ground loop or a body of water, and transferring it to your home through a distribution system. In the cooling mode, they can also remove heat from your home and transfer it to the water source.
2. Efficiency: These systems are highly efficient, especially when paired with renewable energy sources like geothermal energy. By utilizing the relatively stable temperature of the ground or water, they can achieve significant energy savings compared to traditional heating and cooling systems.
3. Comfort: Hydronic heat pumps provide consistent and comfortable heating and cooling throughout your home. They can be paired with radiant floor heating systems, which offer gentle, even warmth without the drafts associated with forced-air systems.
4. Versatility: Hydronic heat pumps can be used for both heating and cooling, making them a versatile solution for year-round comfort. They can also be integrated with other HVAC systems and renewable energy technologies to further enhance efficiency.
5. Quiet Operation: Unlike traditional air-source heat pumps, hydronic heat pumps operate quietly since the main components are located indoors or underground. This makes them suitable for residential areas where noise can be a concern.
Overall, hydronic heat pumps offer efficient, comfortable, and versatile heating and cooling solutions for homes and buildings, making them an increasingly popular choice in the HVAC industry.
