Why Choose Radiant Floor Heating?

Comfort

  • Follows ideal heat curve by delivering the temperature needed to perfectly meet our bodies’ demand.
  • Warm cozy floors

Efficiency

  • Conservative savings of 15%, typically 20 to 50%
  • Requires lower thermostat settings (typically 68°F). 1°F decrease in thermostat setting equals 3% efficiency savings.
  • Requires lower water temperatures than conventional high temperature hydronic heating systems (baseboard of radiator). 3°F decrease in water temperatures equals 1% efficiency savings.

System Expectations

Floor Heating

  • Maintains desired room temperature
  • Typically primary heat source
  • Multiple zones with superior efficient control strategy

Floor Warming / Conditioning

  • Maintains desired floor surface temperature
  • Typically applied year round with tile floors for the cold mornings

Radiant Rough-In

  • Already installing thermal mass with concrete slabs? You can easily install tubing for radiant hook up at a later date.
  • New construction (i.e. tubing installed in slab pours)
