A. Hydronic heating systems use hot water (Hydronics I) or steam (Hydronics II) to carry heat to occupied spaces. Such systems have been in use for many years. Today's systems employ various piping arrangements to allow for zoned heat controls. Many of these zoned systems use microprocessor controls to allow different heat level to the areas being heated. The heat exchange units vary from the old stand-up radiators, to baseboard units or in-floor radiant heat systems.
B. Who Should Be Certified. Electrical Certification is a prerequisite to the Hydronics Heat Certifications. Technicians who service or maintain hot water heating systems should be certified in Hydronics I. Technicians who service or maintain steam heating systems should be certified in Hydronics II. It is highly recommended, but not required, that technicians have at least one other heat certification such as gas, electric, or oil) before advancing to hydronic certification.
