Radiant Heating and Baseboard Installation in Bergen County
Absolute Precision Plumbing & Heating installs and repairs radiant heating and hot water baseboard heating in Saddle Brook and across Bergen County, NJ. Both systems use hot water from a boiler, so they heat your rooms evenly without ductwork. We work on homes and businesses.
Cold floors and hard-to-heat rooms are easy to fix with the right system. Therefore, call us at (551) 257-6200 to plan yours. For a heating emergency, reach our 24/7 hotline at 855-462-2765 (855 Go Absolute).
How Radiant Heating Works
Radiant heating warms the floor, and the floor warms the room. We lay tubing across the subfloor, clip it in place over reflective insulation and connect it to a boiler. Hot water then flows through the tubing. As a result, heat rises evenly from the floor instead of blowing from a vent.
- Even, quiet heat with no ducts or vents
- Warm floors in bathrooms, kitchens and basements
- A great match for a high efficiency boiler or combi boiler, such as Navien
- A good fit for new additions, renovations and cold rooms
To learn about the boilers we pair with radiant heating, see our boiler replacement and installation page.
Hot Water Baseboard Heating for Older Homes
Hydronic baseboards, also called hot water baseboards, use boiler-heated water to warm a room. They work well in older houses and businesses without ductwork, and in hard-to-heat areas. We install Sterling Baseboards, and we install and repair these systems.
- They warm rooms that are hard to heat
- They need no ductwork
- They cost less to run than electric baseboard heaters
- They are a simple way to add heat to a sun room or an addition
We arrange a consultation first. Then we explain whether this kind of heat suits your home or business.
Radiant Heating Installation Step by Step
Every home is different, so we start by planning the tubing layout for each room. Then we install the insulation and the tubing, and we connect everything to the manifold and the boiler.
Because the tubing ends up under the floor, we test it before the floor goes down. Finally, we make sure each zone heats as it should.

This short video shows radiant heating tubing laid across a subfloor, including the area around a bathroom bench. The loops are spaced evenly and clipped over reflective insulation, so the heat travels up into the room.
Radiant Heating and Baseboard Repair
We repair radiant and baseboard systems as well. Call us if a room stays cold, a zone stops heating, or you hear gurgling or banging in the pipes.
Your boiler also needs care. For this reason, we offer annual tune-ups for hot water boilers. See our hot water boiler repair page for details.
