Radiant Floor Heating

Radiant floor heating is a heating system that uses a heated liquid piped through tubes embedded in the floor to heat your home. It can be utilized with most boilers and geothermal heat pump systems.

Radiant floor heating is both quiet and comfortable, with the added advantage of saving you money on your heat bill.

Efficient and Comfortable Heat

With a radiant floor heat system, heat is dispersed throughout the entire surface of the floor, warming all parts of a room evenly. Since it does not rely on moving air currents, radiant floor heating also eliminates the problems of dafts and dust associated with forced-air systems.

Lower Energy Bills

Because radiant floor heating results in more even heat distribution, you may be able to lower your thermostat without changing the level of comfort in your home. Also, radiant floor heating uses a lower boiler temperature, cutting the amouont of energy needed to keep your home warm. Not only will you save money on fule, but you may also extend the life of your boiler.

Quiet and Invisible

The "invisibility" of radiant floor heating is another advantage that people have come to love about these systems. Since all the tubing for the system is buried in the floor, there are no registers or radiators that may interfere with furniture placement or other design factors in a room. Radiant floor systems are also very quiet, eliminating the "fan-noise" of forced air systems.

Radiant floor heating systems are best installed in new construction, but can be retroactively installed during remodeling.
