Radiant Floor Heating

The biggest advantage of in-floor heating is its ability to uniformly heat floor and room. Central heating systems distribute air through vents. Where these are located determines which parts of the room will be warmest. This results in chilly spots at the room’s extremities. Because the heat covers the entire floor, this is not a concern in radiant systems.

After installation, electric wire radiant system can go roughly 20 years without needing any maintenance, while it’s good for hydronic (water piped) systems to be inspected periodically. Should any leaks or breaks be detected, our thermal imaging cameras can quickly pinpoint the location of your in-floor heating repair. If you ever need professional HVAC support, just give Temperature Repair a call.

The operation of some types of heating systems can be audible, if not annoying. This issue disappears with radiant floor heating because, unlike with central heating systems, there’s no large motor or blower involved. If you ever notice noises from beneath your feet, this is a sign that your radiant floor system needs attention ASAP.

Because no air is pushed around, radiant floor systems are great for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Installing them helps limit dust and the circulation of allergens.

Experts find that radiant floors heat your home around 20 percent more efficiently than a traditional furnace. The lack of ductwork—which often leaks—ensures comfort is more likely to get where you want it. A typical system of this type can be operated for less than a dollar a day.
