FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Radiant Floor Heating?

Radiant Floor Heating is a comfortable and efficient form of heating where warm water circulates through flexible, specially designed PEX tubing installed under the floor. The heat radiates evenly up through the floor warming people and objects in the room and providing more comfort for less money.

What makes Radiant Floor Heating so comfortable?

Unlike traditional heating systems that just warm the air, radiant heating warms the floor and the objects in contact with the floor.  The entire floor distributes a consistent, even and quiet heating.  There are no drafts and Radiant Floor Heating takes the chill out of cold tile, marble and wood floors.

What if the tubing leaks?

Leaks are not a concern when the system is properly installed. With a life expectancy of more than 100 years, Pex tubing has withstood extensive testing.

Can the floor get too hot?

No. A properly designed radiant floor heating system will deliver comfortable warmth that's a pleasure to walk on - especially in bare feet!

Is it possible just to heat the ceramic tile floor in the bathroom?

Absolutely. Radiant Floor Heating systems are flexible, meaning you can heat the entire home or only those rooms you want to heat. The bathroom is a popular area of the home to heat.

Can we rough in the system for future use?

Yes, we will install the PEX tubing in the slab during construction and you can complete the system later. This adds relatively little to the cost of a poured floor, but can add a great deal to the value of your home later.

Can I still have air conditioning?

Sure you can. In fact, separate heating and cooling systems really make the most sense. Radiant floor heating keeps the heat near the floor where it does the most good; and air conditioning ductwork is placed only where it is needed to cool your home. The result is optimal comfort and efficiency all year.

Can Radiant Floor Heating help with my allergies?

Yes, Radiant Floor Heat has no drafts, fans or blowers to circulate dust, dirt and other allergens throughout your home. Warm radiant floors can eliminate the need for carpeting which is a breeding ground for dust mites, a very common cause of allergic respiratory disease. The result is a clean, healthy environment —a must for people with allergies.
