Comfort is the primary reason to choose a radiant heating system. Imagine even heat throughout your house. Come home to warm tile on a cold winter day. Delight in the warmth of watching TV with your family in your radiant heated family room.
Cold feet and drafty rooms are common complaints of people with forced-air heating systems.Heat distribution with forced-air is uneven. Most of the heat is concentrated at the ceiling. With radiant floor, the heat is concentrated at the floor where it is needed. So, you are comfortable at a lower thermostat setting . . . that saves money on your monthly fuel bills.
Heat is transferred from the system tubing upwards turning your entire floor into a warm, mild radiator. This produces a gentle warming with little temperature variation from floor to ceiling.
