IN-FLOOR HEATING INSTALLATION, REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE

How in-floor heating works

Depending on the type of in-floor heating system you choose, either electric heating coils or plastic tubing that fills with hot water will be installed in your floor. When you turn on the system, heat radiates upward and warms every object it comes in contact with, similar to how the sun warms your clothes and skin on a hot summer day.

Since the electric coils or water-filled tubing extend throughout the room, in-floor heating provides an even temperature as warm air continuously rises to fill every corner of the space. What’s more, with a multi-zone heating system, you can easily adjust the temperature in each room to suit your preferences. For example, you can save energy by lowering the heat in unoccupied spaces while ensuring consistent warmth in frequently used areas like the living room.

The benefits of in-floor heating

Are you thinking about installing in-floor heating? In addition to ensuring your home or business is consistently warmth, here’s why this type of heating system is a sound investment.

• It’s energy efficient. A radiant in-floor heating system doesn’t need to be set high to effectively heat a room, which means it uses less energy other types of heating systems. There’s also little risk of heat loss since the air doesn’t travel through ducts. Plus, the uniform distribution of heat over the entire floor eliminates cold and hot spots in a room that might tempt you to crank up the thermostat or open a window.
• It works with any type of flooring. Whether you prefer hardwood, laminate, carpet, natural stone or vinyl, you don’t have to compromise your style to accommodate in-floor heating. You’re also free to install this heating system in any room, from concrete-floor basements to tiled bathrooms and kitchens.
• It’s safe and improves air quality. Say goodbye to the sharp edges and hot surfaces of radiators that make them a hazard for homes with young children or pets. You may also prefer in-floor heating over a forced-air system, as it doesn’t risk stirring up dust and allergens.
• It simplifies home decor. If you opt for in-floor heating, you’ll be free to decorate a room without the need to consider clearance around radiators, baseboard heaters or floor vents. In addition to eliminating a potential fire hazard, you’ll free up wall and floor space. Plus, you don’t have to worry about an unsightly radiator clashing with your design style.

Additionally, there are a number of advantages to opting for radiant in-floor heating in commercial and industrial spaces. For example, it can be an effective way to heat areas with high ceilings or large amounts of air infiltration, such as atriums or buildings with a parking garage. In-floor heating systems can also help keep floors dry, thereby reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
