What is Radiant Heating?
Heated floor systems use hot water pipes or electric wires beneath the floor to generate warmth. The heated air then rises, warming the entire room. They work best with bare floors, making even tiled or marble floors barefoot-friendly all year. In terms of efficiency, it’s one of the best systems out there. It doesn’t waste energy heating the air above the living space. If you’re tight on space, radiant floor systems also keep HVAC clutter to a minimum.
Existing in one form or another since the Roman empire, this heating system still has its place in the 21st century home. Beyond in-home use, you’ll also see similar methods utilized on driveway and roof melting systems.
How Do Radiant Floors Work?
The principles behind heated floor systems are relatively simple. Below is a quick overview of how they function:
The attached thermostat tells your radiant system to turn on.
Your water heater or boiler raises the temperature of the wire or water pipe beneath the floor.
The system’s pump pushes the heated medium throughout your home.
Heat from beneath your floor raises and diffuses throughout your room.
Through the loop of wire or pipe, the now cooler liquid returns to the water heater.
The process repeats until your home’s air sensor reaches the set temperature.
Through these simple steps, these systems make it easy to achieve comfort all winter long. Read on for some benefits of radiant floor heating system installation in Blairsville or Ellijay. Alternatively, you can give us a call to schedule a hassle-free quote.
The Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating in Blue Ridge
When it comes to luxurious comfort, it’s hard to beat heated floors. They make getting out of bed or the shower pleasant, not punctuated by shocking cold. Though there are some drawbacks to consider, the advantages of radiant floors far outweigh the drawbacks. These include:
Less Maintenance
After installation, electric wire radiant systems can last roughly 20 years without maintenance, while hydronic (water piped) systems need to be inspected more frequently. Should any leaks or breaks be detected, our thermal imaging cameras can quickly pinpoint the location of your in-floor heating repair. If you ever need professional HVAC support, give James Thomas Heating and Cooling a call.
Energy Efficiency
Experts find radiant floors heat your home around 20 percent more efficiently than a traditional furnace. The lack of ductwork—which often leaks—ensures comfort where you want it. A typical system of this type can be operated for less than a dollar daily.
No Noise
Some types of heating systems can be loud, if not annoying. This issue disappears with radiant floor heating because, unlike central heating systems, no large motor or blower is involved. If you ever notice noises from beneath your feet, this is a sign that your radiant floor system needs attention.
Uniform Heating
The most significant advantage of in-floor heating is its ability to heat the floor and room uniformly. Central heating systems distribute air through vents. Their location determines which parts of the room will be warmest. This results in chilly spots at the room’s extremities. Because the heat is distributed over the entire floor, this is not a concern in radiant systems.
Hypoallergenic
Because no air is pushed around, radiant floor systems are great for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Installing one helps limit dust and allergens.
As you can see above, there are numerous benefits to installing a heated floor. But what do you do if you already have one and it acts up? What if it needs maintenance? Don't worry! Our Blue Ridge radiant heating experts are here to help.
