Radiant floor heat in Montana
Radiant floor heat is incredibly efficient, natural heat that’s clean, silent, odorless, draft-free and doesn’t require vents or ductwork. With radiant floor heat, warm water flows through tubes located underneath the floors. That warmth radiates up from the floors and warms everything it comes in contact with — including people. Radiant is compatible with any type of floor covering, including carpet, wood, slate, tile, linoleum, and concrete.
Because water has the capacity to transport energy 3,500 times greater than air, water can heat (and even cool) using less energy than a forced-air system. This equates to greater comfort at a lower thermostat setting, resulting in lower energy bills. In fact, more people are comfortable with radiant floor heating at a lower thermostat setting than with forced-air heating at a higher thermostat setting.
Radiant floor heat works in zones
Another benefit of a radiant heating system is that it works in zones, allowing different areas of a home to heat at different temperatures. This allows typically chilly rooms—bathrooms, basements and entryways—to receive more heat when needed. Simultaneously, low-traffic rooms can be set to a lower thermostat setting, making the system even more energy-efficient.
Do you already have radiant floor heat and find that it’s too hot in the spring and fall? We can add an outdoor reset switch to help regulate the heat output and burn less fuel. We will make sure you only get the amount of heat you need.
