Radiant Floor Heating System
On a cool winter’s morning when the ice and snow have left their mark on the outside world, one of the worst feelings is getting out of your nice, toasty bed, touch the floor, and have your feet go instantly cold. A radiant heating system can help prevent those frightful wake-up calls.
A radiant heating system does not utilize ductwork for forced air distribution; instead, it is a way to efficiently warm your home by supplying heat directly to an indoor surface, like a wall or ceiling. There are three main types of radiant heating systems:
-
Electric Radiant Heating
Electric radiant heating involves electric cables that are built directly into your floor. This is a great option for floors with a high thermal mass as you can heat your home during non-peak hours and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by utilizing the heat stored in your floor.
-
Hydronic Radiant Heating
Hydronic radiant heating utilizes heated water that is pumped through a network of tubing installed beneath your floor. It is a popular and efficient option for heating your home or office.
-
Air-Heated Radiant Heating
Air-heated radiant heating uses hot air to heat the floor. This option is seldom used in homes as air cannot hold large amounts of heat.
