Installing a radiant floor heating system in your home can result in a variety of benefits over traditional forced-air heating systems. Some benefits of radiant floor heat compared to traditional heating systems include:
Energy Efficient: No home heating system can compete with the efficiency of radiant heated floors. Simply put, radiant floor heating systems are the most energy efficient option for heating homes today. With over 99 percent of the energy going directly to heating the floor there is virtually no heat loss with radiant systems. In addition to the inherent efficiency of radiant heat, several other factors also come into play. Unlike forced-air systems and traditional radiators that require high temperatures in order to effectively heat a room (conventional gas furnaces heat air between 140°F-170°F at the supply plenum while a steam heated radiator can reach a temperature of 215°F), heated floors only need to run at about 80°F to warm a room. And heated floors also require less operating time to maintain the desired warmth compared to other traditional heating methods. Needless to say, these attributes result in radiant heat using considerably less energy, translating to a cost savings for the homeowner.
Furthermore, radiant heating systems give homeowners precise control of when and where they would like to heat. Each room (or zone) of a floor heating system is controlled by its own thermostat, so homeowners can heat the rooms they want without any waste typical of forced-air systems where warm air escapes through “closed” vents.
Also, forced-air heating systems blow warm air that exits vents and rises quickly, leaving the lower levels of the room colder than the upper levels. This is a drawback for families with small children who spend most of their time near the floor. The warm air also does not tend to circulate evenly, resulting in hot spots as well as cold spots.
Luxurious Comfort: Radiant heat delivers luxurious warmth from the floor up. Because the warmth is evenly distributed, it creates an ideal environment for young children and others playing on or near the floor. If you haven’t experienced the comfort of radiant heat, you’re in for a treat. It’s easy to understand why radiant heat is fast becoming the energy-efficient heating method of choice for new construction projects nowadays.
Convenient and Effortless: Easy-to-use programmable thermostats are available so homeowners can program the heating system according to their schedule. The system can activate shortly before they arise in the morning and then turn off as they head to work. The system can turn on once again a little before they return at the end of the day. The thermostat can programmed to accommodate a different schedule each day of the week. The cost saving attributes of radiant heat can result in a 15 percent savings for most homeowners.
Maintenance Free: Radiant floor heating systems operate silently and require virtually no maintenance. There are no filters to change and no yearly inspections necessary.
Easy to Customize: Radiant heat can be tailored according
to the unique needs and desires of each homeowner. The floor heating systems are easily customized to
efficiently heat specific areas or rooms, and can also be designed to best accommodate the
homeowner’s budget.
Versatile: Warmzone carries a wide variety of radiant floor heating systems. Since some heating elements are better suited for certain types of floors than others, you’re sure to find the best system for heating your home. Yet, most radiant floor heating systems are very versatile and several can be installed to heat virtually most types of flooring. But without question, some are more recommended than others for certain floor types.
Radiant heat can also be installed to heat existing floors. If you can access the floor joists you can staple up Warmzone’s thin FilmHeat heating elements to heat your floor without having to tear up the floor! We carry a variety of systems that can accommodate your specific needs.
