Benefits
of radiant heating system
Comfort - consistent steady heat
that keeps your environment evenly warm and toasty with virtually
every flooring material. Think of walking barefoot
on your warmed hardwood kitchen floor while snowflakes fall outside.
A properly designed radiant system generates no noise
from the operation of forced-air fans or the sound of rushing air.
The only sound is from the operation of the gas or oil burner on
the boiler.
Health - With hydronic radiant heating,
only 5% of the heat transfer is by convection. Room air circulation
is extremely gentle, and does not aggravate allergy or asthma symptoms
(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.
Efficiency - 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.
Versatility - 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.
Reliability - floor heating systems
are virtually maintenance free and the heating
element is backed with a 25 year industry-leading warranty. With
no moving parts and advanced self-diagnosing technology, there is
no need for yearly maintenance or service checks. |
