What Is Radiant Heating?
When you need a heating solution aside from a forced-air system, radiant heating can benefit your home. This system uses a series of wires or water pipes — typically located under your floor — to warm your home. With this unit, the heat rises from the floor and flows throughout the house to create more consistent heat than with a forced-air system. This lets you evenly heat your home in a more energy-efficient manner.
Benefits of Radiant Heating Systems
There are many benefits to radiant heating systems. While one of the largest advantages of this solution is its energy efficiency, other benefits can include:
- Increased comfort as it provides consistent heating.
- Even warming as heat is evenly distributed.
- Surround heating, as it comes from all sides of a room and not a specific vent.
- Increased warmth, as the home may feel warmer than the actual temperature of the room due to the way the heat moves throughout a space.
- Lower monthly utility bills since the system is more energy-efficient.
- Less noise since the system uses wires and pipes to distribute heat and not a loud, forced-air system.
- Improved indoor quality since it is not circulating dust, allergens and germs throughout your home.
