Radiant Heat
Ordinary heating systems rely on air circulation to distribute heat. Since hot air rises, the warmth migrates and accumulates near the ceiling, causing forced air systems to work overtime to heat the occupied space. Radiant floor heat is more like the sun. Radiant heat directly warms people and objects, so the warmth stays in your living space. With radiant heat it is true comfort while saving money on heating bills.
Radiant heat offers you comfort choices. Warm your entire house or just problem areas like the kitchen, bathroom, basement and entryway.
Whichever you choose, you’ll be increasing your comfort today and your home’s resale value in the future. Multiple thermostats can control your comfort and your costs by allowing you to turn down the temperature in rooms that are no in use. If you want, you can even have a thermostat in every room.
*Note: though radiant heat systems can offer extreme comfort and efficiency, there are many things like proper installation, components and insulation that if not done correctly can cause a radiant install to suffer.
