HUG Hydronics In-floor Heating: Easy Dual Fuel and Off Peak Instructions
It's easy to do a dual fuel and/or off peak heating with the HUG Hydronics in-floor heating system.
Hugh the Ducky's 5 steps to Off-Peak Bliss
1. Contact your electric company to discuss how they do dual fuel/off-peak, and sign up. Ask about rebates. (Right now our local power co-op is offering a $400 rebate in addition to the Federal rebate of $300). Then, order our system sized to your home/building.
2. Order both the electric and gas heaters (drop a note to our sales team that you are doing dual fuel/off peak and they will have your HUG Hydronics in-floor heating unit configured for both your heaters before it's shipped to you).
Shop our Product Selector to easily set up your off-peak/dual fuel system.
3. Install the heaters and HUG Hydronics In-floor heating system, according to instructions, but setting both pumps 9 & 10 up as heat source pumps.
4. Set up the off-peak/dual fuel connection as your electric company instructs.
5. Relax and enjoy your savings!

What's Happening in Cottonwood?
Extreme Panel's demonstration house brings building techniques into the real world. As a sponsor, HUG Hydronics is providing Heat-Sheet, PEX, and the in-floor heating distribution system for the project.
Fellow EP Summit sponsor BUILD Show Network is documenting the process with cameras, interviews, and a closer look at each step of the process, leading up to the January 2027 Summit.
See the build come together.
Take a closer look at the project, then explore what radiant in-floor heating could look like in your own home, shop, or garage.

Nope, and we love Extreme Panel's way of building, however this project showcases only one type of application of HUG's system. HUG Hydronics can also be used in other homes, shops, garages, and ag buildings where radiant floor heating is appropriate.
Have your floor plan or approximate dimensions handy, along with basic details about your insulation, ceiling heights, and windows. Think about which spaces you'd like to control with separate thermostats. The Wizard will guide you through the planning process, and HUG's team can help review your project's needs.
