All Pro Plumbing is owned by Ray & Nina Sarette, current residents of Reno, NV and previous long time residents of El Dorado County. We have been in the plumbing business since 1983 and contracting since 1990.

In 1995 we moved to Colorado where Ray was introduced to hot water heating (hydronics). There, Ray learned to install baseboard, radiant and combination heating systems in many different type structures including driveways, custom homes, multi-unit structures and commercial buildings, garages, patios and shops.

Ray obtained formal education through courses at Red Rocks Community College in Golden, CO with professor Mark Eatherton, a true ‘wet head’ and well known leader in hot water design. We serve, Northern California, including Sierra, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer and Amador Counties as well as surrounding communities.

Certified in Wirsbo and Rehau Tubing, Munchkin and Buderus Boilers and Rinnai Water Heaters.

Radiant floor heating technology is becoming the preferred heating system of choice. Its popularity is easy to understand. Radiant heat is the most comfortable form of heat for the human body and is 20-30% more efficient than forced air systems. There are many variables in construction techniques and floor coverings, making the proper design a necessity.

Radiant floors work great with today’s open floor plans, especially in rooms with high ceilings. There are no air ducts to consider, making furniture placement a snap. There are also no fans to blow dust or allergens throughout the rooms.

Discover the system that offers the ultimate comfort and control, radiant floor heating. Radiant floor heating circulates warm water through tubing made of crosslinked polyethylene (plastic). There are several methods for installation, the most common being within a concrete slab. Tubing can also be stapled underneath the subfloor or on top and then covered with light weight concrete or gypsum. The newest method is a panel system in which tubing is installed in grooves in the panels. The tubing may also be sandwiched between the subfloor and the finish floor with the use of sleepers.

Radiant floor systems should be installed as a closed loop system due to the dormancy of the system in warmer weather. These loops or zones can be controlled with thermostats dedicated to areas of your choice.

Radiant floor heating affects the Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) of a room by warming exposed surfaces. The floor being heated by the warm water is the warmest surface in the room. The floor then warms the ceiling, walls and objects in the room by radiant energy transfer creating a higher MRT of the surfaces. Occupants benefit not only from heat rising from the floor, which is the optimal heat distribution for comfort, but also by having a higher MRT. Overall air temperatures are reduced while comfort is increased.
