Radiant Heat

Hydronic Radiant Heating Systems

Radiant heating systems in one form or another have been used throughout time. The availability of absolutely safe tubing material has made radiant heat a desirable and viable heating solution.

In brief, a radiant heating installation turns your floors into big and gentle radiators. Pextron tubing is evenly installed throughout the floor. Warm water is circulated through the tubing, heating the floor, objects in contact with the floor and you as well.

The unique features of radiant floor heating are particularly experienced in rooms with high ceilings. The warmth stays at people level without hot air stratification in unused ceiling space.

Learn how you will benefit from the advantages of a radiant floor heating system.

It's just more comfortable.
R radiant systems deliver consistent steady heat that keeps your environment evenly warm and toasty with virtually every flooring material.

It's more energy efficient.
With a radiant heating system you will save between 10 and 30 % in energy use vs. forced air heat. This is due to the low operating system water temperatures. Additionally you can set your thermostat lower and still be more comfortable with a warm floor and warmed objects around you; there's less heat loss through walls and ceilings and from open doors and windows.

It adds value to your home.
Radiant heating systems turn cold, damp areas into warm, cozy living space.

It's more versatile.
Radiant heating systems can be installed in new construction and existing homes; over wood or concrete floors; you can heat only the rooms you use, rather than a whole house. With no vents, radiators or cold air returns, you can put furniture wherever you want.

It's healthier.
A radiant heating system has no dry air blowing dust and allergens around. This is the ideal system for anyone bothered by allergies. Comfortably warm feet and a cool head is an old recipe for good health.

It's cleaner and easier to maintain.
With a radiant heating system there are no fans or drafts blowing dust around and no baseboard fins, filters, vents, or ducts to clean.

It's decorator friendly.
With no baseboard, vents or radiators, you can place furniture wherever you want it.
