Jim Chamberlin — Island Lake Farm

Jim and his wife Audra have run Island Lake Farm for 29 years, raising nine kids while growing heirloom potatoes, garlic, pastured pork, and poultry for local farmers markets — with self-sufficiency as the guiding principle behind almost everything on the property.

Jim was an early HUG Hydronics customer — by his own account, "I think we bought the third one off the shelf... I don't even know if there was a shelf at the time." Since then, the system's held up well enough that he installed a second unit in a tiny house he built for his son.

"I like to be self-sufficient — I don't have to rely on people if I don't have to, and that goes for everything from the food we grow to building our own buildings... I'd recommend it if you're looking at a hydronic system. At least check it out — unless you like to work on complicated systems, then you can just buy something different."

David Winkelman of WinkelmanSolar.com

Winkelman Solar has used and promoted hydronic heating in their office and showcase buildings since 1996 — and switched to HUG Hydronics for its simplicity. David is also listed as a supplier on our HUG Partners page.

"Our team has been using and promoting hydronics in our office and showcase buildings since 1996. Typically, the systems require lots of components and plumbing: many pipes, tubes, pumps, pressure tanks, regulator valves, complicated junctions, manifolds and so on. The HUG system is so simple and compact, it only takes up a small space in the utility room now. Plus HUG is less expensive, looks nice and works well.

The installation was quick, easy and did not require special tools. I was skeptical about the process before we began, but after the brief class, it was simple to do. I now also understand the most complicated part of the HUG system, the jumper pins. We would most definitely choose HUG again for our buildings and would recommend HUG to anyone who wants a simple and efficient heating system.

In fact, Winkelman says he would recommend HUG Hydronics to their customers for all their in-floor heating needs.

"Yes, we will recommend HUG to our customers and friends who want hydronic heating. Thank you for an excellent product for energy conservation!"
