In this episode of The Build Show, Mike Conneely breaks down the benefits of using indirect water heaters in homes with radiant boiler systems. Filmed on-site during the final stages of construction, Mike explains how excess heat from a boiler can be efficiently repurposed to heat domestic water, reducing energy costs and simplifying mechanical design. He walks through the setup of indirect holding tanks, discusses why a glycol system is used, and highlights key advantages for both builders and homeowners—including improved efficiency, longer equipment lifespan, reduced venting requirements, and faster hot water delivery through recirculation lines. This episode offers a practical, real-world look at smarter mechanical choices in modern residential construction.
