Radiant Heating
Radiant heating is the most comfortable heating
system available. Your entire floor becomes a low
temperature radiator; on the coldest of days it will
reach a maxium floor surface temperature of 85
degrees. Imagine every corner of your floor is now a
low temperature radiator. This is achieved by running
a series of flexible pex tubing inside of or
underneath your floor- then insulating underneath
|
|
the pipes to push up the heat and gently warm
|
under floor staple-up method
|
the wood sub floor and covering, whether it's
hardwood, carpet or tile to a temperature sufficient to
heat your house- this temperature can be much cooler
than a regular radiator or baseboard because your floor
is a much larger radiator with much more surface area.
Imagine walking on tile that's 85 degrees instead of 60
degrees!

It is dependable. It has been widely used in
Europe and Germany for many decades. It's
performance and reliability have proven to be
outstanding. I guarantee all large plumbing and
heating jobs for 5 years and the systems are
designed and built to last many decades. Because
radiant heat warms slowly and gently it create

very little dust. Other systems create convection

and aircirculation. Some systems actually blow
scorched, dry, dusty air to heat. If you have forced
hot air heat you will benefit most from radiant heat. I
could install radiant heat under your floor without any
baseboard, no cold spots or chills, much less dust and
dust mites, and you won't have to turn on your forced
hot air heat anymore!
I can talk from experience when I tell you how
comfortable it is because I installed it in my own
house in the summer of 1999 and I was really
surprised at the increase in comfort levels compared
to other systems. I've installed radiant systems
prior to that and my customers loved it so much I had
to see for myself. After experiencing

radiant heat I was amazed at the comfort levels.

I am a believer. Radiant heat
is also the most efficient system you can buy. It
cost more to install but these cost can be offset in
the long run through lower fuel bills.
