Radiant Floor Heating Reduces Energy Costs
Radiant underfloor heating uses plastic water tubes or electric cables that run underneath your flooring material and warm the house with a quiet, clean, comfortable source of heat. Best of all, energy costs can be reduced because the thermostat can be set two to four degrees lower than the standard "forced air" system. In addition, the humidity level near the floor is low because the floor is heated, eliminating the habitat for mildew and dust-mites.
Benefits of Radiant Underfloor Heating
Radiant underfloor heating is an improvement over traditional forced air and home radiators. It:
- is quieter
- more evenly distributes the heat
- has no ductwork to trap dust, pollen, and germs
- is healthier
- can save you money!
Radiant underfloor heating systems can also tie in to your domestic hot water system, and even be supplemented by solar energy, for more energy savings.
