We install many hardwood floors with heating systems. Wood floor installations are most common. Ceramic or stone tile happens to have the highest ability to transfer heat. Most types of flooring materials will work with a heating system. Nor does it create dry air also effecting nasal conditions. And these systems are completely silent – no hissing, pinging or blowing sounds. Generally room temperatures can also remain lower because the radiant heat provides more comfort as it provides you heat starting from your feet up. All of this means energy savings and lower energy costs of 30-50%.Ī radiant floor heating system also provides better air quality as it does not circulate dust & allergens like forced air. With a radiant floor system room temperarures can be raised within minutes. Some systems can also allow regulation of individual room temperatures, each room having it’s own thermostat. The constant & even heat increases comfort always keeping the floor & living space warm. With a radiant floor heating system the whole floor is a radiator. Most of the heat remains above head level and diminishes downwards to where floor level can remain cold. In other systems heat rises up becoming lost to surrounding surfaces, and comes back down as cool air. The transfer of heat from the floor distributes heat evenly throughout the room and without fluctuations in temperature, unlike other heating systems.
Water boilers operate more efficiently & less energy is consumed because relatively low heat is required to heat the water. Hydronic systems are more efficient than any other heating system whether it be gas or electric forced air or above floor radiators. Benefits of a hydronic radiant floor heating system: Heat reflecting insulation or heat transfer panels directs heat upwards through the floor and the heat rises, evenly heating the rooms.
A water boiler heats water which is pumped through a pattern of tubes beneath the finished floor. They are very efficient for heating an entire house. Hydronic systems are the most common & cost effective. These systems are usually designated to certain rooms because they are less efficient cost wise. Electric systems use cables beneath the floor to generate heat. There are basically two types – electric and hydronic. Here is what you need to know about floor heating systems. Our flooring and HVAC specialists will handle every aspect of your installation. Gemini offers both flooring and HVAC Services.
