Residential hydronic heating program
Texas Gas Service offers an incentive of $125 per unit. Hydronic heating simply refers to a water heater that provides space heating and hot water for both homes and apartments. The water heater operates like a conventional heater, but when space heating is needed the thermostat activates a small pump, which uses hot water to produce warm air that circulates through the ducts.
