News... Slant/Fin Hydronic Explorer App available on your computer! When faced with installing a new heating system, the first thing one needs to know before choosing the right boiler or baseboard solution, is how to accurately determine a home’s total heat-loss. That’s why Slant/Fin created the Hydronic Explorer App, an easy-to-use tool that lets consumers quickly calculate a project’s heating load requirements. With the rising popularity of the phone app, and thousands of downloads, Slant/Fin has decided to expand it to a web application for easy access from a desktop computer. Without a smartphone, users can still create and manage multiple jobs and keep track of requirements for each one. This allows consumers to make educated decisions on the right products for the right situation, at the right time. Check out the new web app at www.hydronicexplorer.com and create an account to get into the Heat Calculator page. Watch the Video tours of the functionality linked on the Home Page.
