Radiant Heating Faq

Q. Why is radiant heat (radiant floor heating) superior to other heating methods?

A. With radiant heat, every object in the room becomes warm and contributes to your overall comfort. Because you're heating more than just the room's air, your living space maintains an even, satisfying warmth with no air currents, blowing dust, or cold spots. Unlike other heating methods, radiant heat doesn't dry out the air. The warmth starts at your feet where it is most desired instead of blowing out of ductwork and ending up on the ceiling. With traditional hydronic baseboard heating, the hot air flows up the wall creating a convective current that can actually draw in cold outside air.

Also, with radiant heat, you feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting, so your fuel bills will be lower...a major plus!

In addition, the system is silent, has only one moving part, needs minimal maintenance, operates more efficiently than any other heating system while offering superior comfort, and if that isn't enough, you can walk around in socks all winter!

Imagine stepping out of your morning shower onto a warm floor. Imagine never again sitting on a cold sofa. Imagine stretching out on a cozy floor and reading the paper, working on a school project with the kids, doing yoga exercises. These are only a few of the reasons why radiant heat has been used in Europe for over sixty years
