The Benefits of Radiant Heat
Radiant floor heating can be extremely cost-effective and comfortable. Hot water radiant floor heating, or hydronic systems, are the most cost-effective systems for homes or buildings in heating-dominated climates. Hydronic systems heat water in a boiler and pump the heated water through tubing underneath floors. Most find radiant floor heat to be one of the most comfortable types of heating, because heat is evenly distributed from the floor, warming up the feet and body first. The benefits to radiant floor heating are numerous and include increased levels of comfort due to the silent operation of the system. Radiant floor heat eliminates drafts and dust problems associated with forced air systems. Additionally, radiant floor systems (radiant floor heat or under floor heating) are invisible.
Geothermal Heating Systems
Geothermal heating systems are now being used in sustainable buildings. They use stored heat from the earth's crust in conjunction with heat pump technology to move and amplify heat instead of making heat. Geothermal systems are available in forced air or hydronic units, making them quite versatile for use in a radiant floor heating system. Radiant heating is becoming more popular because it is more efficient as a delivery method when compared to forced air, and it is also more comfortable. If you are heating a room with forced air, there is generally not a consistent temperature in that room, but with geothermal heating, the air being forced is not as warm as traditional forced air. If you are using geothermal heating, you will be more comfortable using it with radiant heating. A geothermal system can save 50-75% of the heating bill per year. There are several different ways to put radiant heating into the floor, and all are generally compatible with a geothermal system.
Energy Efficiency
With radiant heat, you feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting, so your heating bills will be lower... a major plus! Radiant Floor Heating offers Temperature Zone Controls, which can reduce the amount of heat flowing to unused rooms.
