Why Radiant Heat?

Radiant heating systems are compatible with a variety of floor coverings, including hardwood, carpet, vinyl, ceramic tile and marble. It's important to let us know what type of floor covering you plan on installing so that you can achieve the maximum benefit from your radiant system.

Here are some benefits of installing radiant heating:

Energy Savings:
Radiant heat systems utilize low temperature water. Water Temp needed (88°-120° F) Result – 25-50 % less fuel consumed. Hot water systems need water @180° F and steam systems must heat water to 212° F to create steam. It takes a lot more fuel and a lot more money to heat your space with these outdated systems.

Comfort:
Most comfortable form of heat –Your floor becomes a massive radiator that warms your body rather than the air. Floor heating does not dry out your skin. Although this might not seem important it is important for the elderly and children.

No noise and a clean operation:
The system does not cause drafts and will not enable germs and dust particles to spread around. There are no fans or blower noise, just peace and quiet.

Many types of applications:
Can be installed in a slab of concrete, under a wood floor, below grade outdoors for snow melt applications. Floor heating can be used in all types of construction. Tile, wood, and carpeted floors are all acceptable for radiant floors.

Child Friendly and safe:
There are no hot surfaces for children to touch. No contact with burners or radiators! Energy Efficient heating systems simply make sense for busy families. No other heating system provides your family with this level of quality and comfort.

Floor Heating vs. Forced Air Heating:
Floor heating is absolutely more effective at distributing heat than forced air. Floor heat delivers heat from the floor up as opposed to forced air which forced hot air down. Forced air distributed dust and germs. Once your system stops forcing hot air thru your ducts you heat loss is immediate. Floor heat will heat your body and objects not the air!!!
