"Kinematic Automation is the industry leader in systems for the development and manufacture of rapid diagnostic test strips.  Extensive thought and planning went into our new manufacturing facility in Sonora.  The Hydronic Radiant Floor heating system Alternative Energy designed and installed for us has by far exceeded our expectations.  Not only have our employees enjoyed the comfortable, clean environment the radiant system provides, our operating costs are significantly less than anticipated."

Ebbets Pass Fire District Testimonial
Benefits:  
* Keeps warm air at floor level which provides rapid melting of snow/ice on brakes/drive train etc., following return from winter calls.
* Warm air at floor level also keeps oil, transmission fluid, bearing grease, differential oil, etc. warm which prolongs longevity of these components.
* Zone control allows lower temperatures in rooms not used while keeping apparatus room at desired temp.
* Anticipate overall maintenance of heating system less over the long run (no fans/blowers, etc.).
* Following cleaning of apparatus floor, floor dries quickly which provides less chance of injury from falls/slips (more of a factor for staffed station).
