Modern heating systems provide several ways for you to get your heat. When you turn up the thermostat, your room may be warmed by an old-fashioned radiator, hot air from a system of vents, or a radiant floor heating system. Floor heating provides several advantages the other options can’t, making it a popular choice in both newly constructed and remodeled homes.

How It Works

A floor heating system relies on a series of thin pipes running underneath your flooring. Hot water flows through these pipes, warming your floor from beneath. Then the water circulates back to the water heater to go through the system again, providing continuous heat.

Advantages

Better Distribution

When you rely on a single radiator or vent to heat a room, certain parts of the room will be warmer or colder depending on the positioning of the heating system and the air flow through the space. But with radiant floor heating systems, the entire floor of each room produces heat. This creates a cozy, comfortable atmosphere you’ll love.

Targeted Warmth

When you install radiant heating, the whole home isn’t heated at once. Instead, the heat is divided into zones that can be controlled independently. If only one area of the home really needs heat, you can turn it on there and leave the rest of the house off—or turn it all on if family and guests are scattered through the home.

Savings

Because you can efficiently control the distribution of warmth in your home, you’ll save money on heating. After installation, your heating bills can drop by as much as 30%.
