Heating, cooling and hot water are the three primary home applications for thermal systems. Branching off from there is an ample array of thermal products. These are comprised of essential components of a whole house system, single room units and the many accessories and attachments available for both. System types include geothermal, solar thermal, gas-powered and radiant floor heating, among others.
Most of the time, we focus on the broader side of thermal products. For instance, when someone mentions a solar thermal system, we immediately think of collectors, storage tanks, pumps and some pipes or tubing. But there is a lot more to any thermal system than its most recognizable parts. Actuators, expansion tanks, controllers, insulation and PEX tubing are just a few products for which you may find yourself shopping or paying your contractor.
The object of the following articles on thermal products is to make sure you don't enter the supply store or open your checkbook blind without any real knowledge of what you're looking for. They'll also help you better understand your thermal heating or cooling system, including why your water is exactly 102 degrees, or what exactly is going on beneath your feet to keep the house warm. So welcome to the wide, wide world of thermal products!

Bill's fantastic. I used him for solar water and solar electric. I couldn’t be more satisfied. He is very responsive, and always available to help if ever I need it. Bill takes pride in doing a great job and making sure his clients are taken care of. I’m happy to endorse him.
The system was installed as promised and works great, wish I had done this years ago. Love watching the meter run backwards.
