A hydronic system and method of use that will maintain normal system operating pressure while also reliably detecting even very small fluid losses in any closed loop fluid heat transfer system is described. The system includes a controller having clock or timing functionality in communication with one or more pressure sensors and a fluid supply valve that provides one or more notifications when the pressure drops below predetermined levels during predetermined periods of time. Depending on the nature of the pressure loss, the system has the capability of opening a fluid supply valve to provide make up fluid and increase system pressure. 1. A method of detecting a leak in a hydronic heating or cooling system , the method comprising: one or more pressure sensors, the one or more sensors configured to sense when a system pressure drops below or rises above at least first, second, and third pressure set points, the first pressure set point being greater than the second pressure set point and the third pressure set point being greater than the first pressure set point,', 'a circulator pump,', 'a controller, the controller including a timer and being configured to control operations of the hydronic heating or cooling system responsive to pressure changes indicated by the one or more pressure sensors;', 'a system shutoff valve coupled to a fluid supply,', 'an expansion tank,', 'at least one of a heating appliance and cooling appliance,', 'an air separator including an air vent,', 'piping fluidly coupling at least the circulator pump, the system shutoff valve, the air separator, the expansion tank, the one or more pressure sensors, and the heating or cooling appliance, and', 'a fluid contained in the hydronic heating or cooling system;, 'providing the hydronic heating or cooling system, the hydronic heating or cooling system being a closed loop and including,'}at system initiation, measuring a fill time by opening the system shutoff valve to record the elapsed time to raise ...
