Web Case Study-Montana Community Uses Danfoss Zone Control Panels with Hydronic Heating Systems
In Montana, it is critical for a homeowner to select a heating system that will provide efficient and trouble-free distribution of heat.
Located in the heart of the picturesque Rocky Mountains, Bozeman, MT, is truly a remarkable community. From cattle ranchers to high tech engineers, the area is home to those who appreciate an unmatched quality of life. Construction in Bozeman covers a wide range of projects, from smaller custom-built homes to upscale $10 million residences in the surrounding mountain areas. Due to its severe climate and limited need for air conditioning, Bozeman became a strong hydronic market.
Life in a cold climate can be challenging. Therefore, it is critical for a homeowner to select a heating system that will provide efficient and trouble-free distribution of heat. Hydronic systems are ideal for the Bozeman climate and are highly recommended by the local heating professionals, but there is a shortage of manpower in the area to develop a proper system design. Typical hydronic heating systems are a maze of controls and piping. Jobs that involve on-site engineering and fabrication result in extended installation time, and often, additional unexpected costs. Control wiring and testing often require the services of additional trades and are a prime reason for callbacks. By the time the whole system has been fabricated and wired, a lot of valuable wall space has been consumed.
