Radiant Heating Installation Team
Instead of pushing air through ductwork, in-floor heating transfers heat to the floor, walls, or ceiling. This provides direct exposure to the warmth.
Homeowners love a radiant heating system for several reasons.
- Increased efficiency
- Zoning capabilities
- Better air quality
- Less noise
- Consistent heating
- Multiple fuel options
Duane Blanton Plumbing, Sewer, Heating & Cooling installs these systems in zones, allowing each area to have a different temperature. This is ideal for families who can’t settle on a temperature or large houses with lots of unused space. You’ll only heat high-traffic areas.
If you want to heat your entire house, hydronic radiant flooring circulates hot water through a series of tubes. This cost-effective system involves no ductwork and works with various types of flooring. The boiler heats up water, then moves the hot water or steam through pipes installed beneath your floor. Duane Blanton Plumbing, Sewer, Heating & Cooling can add these pipes with minimal disruption to your home, giving you a way of heating rooms evenly from the ground-up. This is better than using boilers with radiators, since a radiator has to be placed somewhere in the room. It takes up space, doesn’t usually look attractive, and heats areas closest to the radiator first instead of the entire room at once.
For supplemental heating, electric radiant flooring warms your house with electrical wires. This system is more expensive than hydronic radiant flooring, but it’s easier to install, making it popular for existing properties.
Whatever you choose, in-floor heating is more efficient than HVAC systems because it requires less ductwork. With no leaky ducts, the hot air stays in your house, lowering your energy bills. Water also uses less energy because it conducts heat better than air.
Your indoor air quality (IAQ) may improve because these systems don’t circulate dirty air throughout the house. Instead, they warm the room from the ground-up without forced air. Over time, you may notice fewer asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and respiratory issues.
