Following is a little more information about what you can expect from our radiant and hydronic heating systems.

What is Radiant Heat in a Home?

When a homeowner decides to have radiant heating installed in their home, they are going to have a series of heating coils installed in the subfloor of their home. These coils will be distributed in every single room of the home to an even heating throughout the house. When in operation, electric current is sent through these coils and the heat will radiate up through the floor and heat the room. Heat is transferred through everything that is resting on the floor including furniture to give the space an even heat distribution.

Hydronic Heating System Design & Installation

Much like radiant heating, hydronic heating is essentially the same thing. If you have a boiler in your home, water will be used to distribute the heat. Where electric current is used to heat a home with radiant heat, water is used with a boiler and produces an even heat that is unbeatable.
