What Is a Radiant Heat System?
A radiant heating system is a home heating option that supplies heat directly to the floor or panels in the walls or ceiling.
There are several types of radiant heating, the most common being hydronic (liquid-based) systems, where heated water is pumped from a boiler through a network of tubes in the floor. The heat from the water radiates out from the pipes and warms up the floor, which then radiates heat to the rest of the room.
Benefits of a Radiant Heating System
It’s true that a radiant heating system is more expensive at the outset compared to a traditional furnace, but many homeowners find the benefits outweigh the initial cost. If you’ve never considered this kind of heating system, here are a few benefits.
- Efficiency: Underfloor heating can be more efficient than forced-air heating systems (like traditional furnaces) because it doesn’t lose energy through leaky ducts. The heat is created at the location where it is needed, and there’s no need to push air throughout the house.
- Comfort: Many people find radiant heating more comfortable because it heats the room evenly with little or no cold spots.
- Aesthetics and Space Saving: Since there are no radiators or air vents, your room looks cleaner, and you have more options for placing furniture without worrying about blocking baseboard heating elements or radiators.
- Zoning: Radiant systems can be easily zoned, allowing different home areas to be heated to different temperatures, allowing everyone to be comfortable.
