What Does Radiant Heating Mean?

Radiant heating refers to a network of heat-transmitting tubes installed behind the walls or ceiling or under floors. We wire the network to warm up an entire room. You can also install radiant heating outside your home under the driveway or sidewalk to help melt snow and ice

Types of radiant heating

The following are the types of underfloor heating systems from which you can choose in preparation for the cold season in Northeastern Ohio.

• HYDRONIC OR LIQUID RADIANT: This type is the most cost-effective and common floor heating system. Our contractors install tubes under the floor through which you will be pumping hot water from your home's boiler.
• ELECTRIC FLOOR HEATING: This type of radiant heating involves building electric cables into the floor. This option is not cost-effective because it consumes high levels of power. However, it's still common among most homeowners.
• AIR FLOOR HEATING: While it's less efficient than hydronic or electric systems, some in-floor heating systems use hot air panels. This heating type works with solar air warming systems.

Typical Benefits of Radiant Heating for Your Home

Radiant heating systems offer several benefits to Akron and Tallmadge homeowners. Below, we list ten benefits you will enjoy after installing radiant heating systems in your home.

• NOISELESS HEATING: Forced-air heating systems are louder than vents turning on and off
• CONSISTENT TEMPERATURE: With radiant floor heating, warm air rises to heat the whole room.
• ENERGY-EFFICIENCY: Radiant floor heating is more efficient because you won't face duct leaks as in a central ducted system.
• LESS ARID CONDITIONS: Radiant heating systems help regulate humidity levels in your home and prevent issues of dry skin, painful sinuses, and dry air.
• ALLERGY PREVENTION: Allergens cannot spread through air vents since there is no ductwork. Thus, you can inhale clean air.
• VISUAL APPEAL: You will have no unattractive radiators or vents on the ceilings and floors.
• FLEXIBLE FUELING: The system is a flexible heating source as it can run on oil, wood, solar, gas, and other sources.
• ADAPTABILITY TO ALL TYPES OF FLOORS: Radiant heating works with almost all floor types, including wood, tiles, concrete, carpet, and stone.
• SCALABILITY: You can choose to install a radiant heating system in one or two rooms, or the whole house, according to your needs.
