More and more Edmonton and area homeowners are opting for in floor heating systems, also known as hydronic heating or radiant floor heating. In floor radiant heating is a consistent type of heating that works by installing a system of pipes beneath your flooring. Heated water is sent through the system of pipes, warming the flooring from below.
Benefits of In Floor Heating Systems
Energy Efficient
Hydronic heating systems are at least 25% more efficient than forced-air heating systems, which means lower monthly heating costs and a reduced environmental impact.
Consistent Heating
Because a hydronic in floor heating system is installed beneath the entire floor of a given room, your space is heated consistently and does not have any cold patches.
Maintenance Free
Once your hydronic in floor radiant heating has been installed, it is virtually maintenance free and will last for many years to come.
In Floor Radiant Heating Is Silent Heating
Unlike other heating systems, in floor radiant heating is completely silent when it’s running, which means your home is not only warm, but peaceful as well.
