While furnace installation is the most common method of providing heat to your new home, radiant floor heating’s popularity is on the rise. Unlike traditional home heating methods, radiant floor heating emanates warmth through the flooring resulting in even heat throughout the home. Here are three benefits that radiant floor heating offers your home. 

Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating

1. Energy Efficiency

In addition to providing warmth quickly, radiant floor heating distributes warmth evenly throughout the home. Because of its direct delivery method through the floor, there’s no heat loss through ducts. There are two types of radiant floor heating, electric and hydronic, both of which save on energy costs. A thermostat controls eclectic floor heating after the furnace installation is complete and can be customized to heat specific rooms at certain times, meaning less energy to heat rooms that don’t need it. Hydronic floor heating systems are up to 30 percent more efficient than forced-air systems and utilize water to warm the home. The water supply can be heated and maintained at a lower temperature than other heat distribution mediums, which means less energy usage. 

2. Flexibility in Design

3. Easier for Those With Allergies

Due to the lack of ductwork, radiant floor heating is optimal for those with allergies. When furnaces circulate air through vents in your home, they pick up pet dander, dust, and mold spores. Radiant floor heating doesn’t circulate at all, which provides better indoor air quality.
