JV Mechanical Frequently Asked Questions
Radiant Heating FAQs
Uponor PEX tubing products were designed over 30 years ago specifically for use in radiant floor heating systems. In fact, Uponor PEX tubing is one of the most thoroughly tested plastic tubing product in the world. To back up their extensive history of successful radiant floor heating systems, Uponor offers a 25 year tubing warranty. This ensures today’s home and building owners that their heating system will last.
eparate heating and cooling systems actually make the most sense resulting in optimal comfort year round. Radiant floor heating keeps heat where it is needed most. Air conditioning ductwork, therefore, does not need to be as extensive and can be placed more strategically than ductwork used for both heating and air conditioning. JV Mechanical can design and install a heating and cooling system that best meets your comfort needs and your budget.
When homeowners or building owners are making a decision on the type of heating system in their home or commercial project, they should consider the difference between more expensive and too expensive. Radiant floor heating is slightly more expensive to install than other heating methods, but the benefits make it worth the additional cost. Not only will radiant floor heating keep you more comfortable than any other heating system, but it will increase the value of your home or building, and save you money on your monthly heating bill. Most people do not hesitate to spend a little bit more money to upgrade their windows or wood floors, but think little about the comfort system in their home or commercial project. Shouldn’t your comfort be a high priority? The benefits of radiant floor heating are definitely worth the extra money.

Radiant floor heating controls the rate at which our bodies lose heat better than any other heating method. This is because radiant floor heating heats objects in the same way that the sun heats the earth. Radiant energy warms the floor and the objects in contact with the floor. This prevents your body from losing heat to cold objects in the room. It is a scientific fact that heat energy is always drawn to cold objects. When we stand on a cold floor or next to a cold wall, we feel cold. This has nothing to do with the air temperature, and everything to do with the fact that heat is being lost from our bodies to warm up the cold objects around us. This heat loss is controlled with radiant floor heating. The radiant warmth keeps us comfortable at a lower thermostat setting.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to JV Mechanical by a friend. I now owe him a beer. The crew from JV couldn't be better from top to bottom, including their specialty sub-contractors. Professional, knowledgeable, patient, responsive, honest, and friendly. It was also nice to see younger crew members being mentored in their trade by the experienced hands. I'm sure you can find other good companies out there, but you won't find a better one than this.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I met with Nekelle this morning and she was very friendly and polite. She provided a very detailed overview of heat pumps and installation options that would work best for us. She answered all my questions in a very patient and informative manner. I felt at ease with her and did not experience any "pressure" sales tactics. She concluded her visit with a promise that a quote would be provided today and I did receive it as promised!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Found JV Mechanical after looking for a Mitsubishi heat pump installer. They were very easy to get into contact with throughout the entire process and answered any questions I had, and were even able to be flexible with their installation schedule to better meet my situation. All of their work was high quality, they were able to meet all of my installation requests when it came to where the hoses and drain pipes went, and were very helpful going through the entire Mass Save rebate program for their heat pumps. Just make sure to touch base with the installation crew before they start work the day of if you made any special requests to make sure everyone is on the same page. Additionally, do a final walkthrough, as with the Mass Save rebate, my boiler needed to be electrically disconnected, and we caught it during the walkthrough and it was done before they left.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my pipes freeze this winter, and I called them. They were prompt, efficient, professional, and helpful. In addition, they put in my friend's new boiler, and they said the same.
