Radiant Heating
Why Radiant Heating?
Are you in the market for Radiant Heating system design, installation or repair/maintenance service in Snohomish? Radiant in-floor heating is unlike any other heating system. Other traditional forced-air systems have inefficiencies, resulting in uneven heat distribution throughout your home. In these Washington winter months, have you ever had your upstairs become too warm, while your main floor is still cold? While relaxing in the evening, have you experienced your head/shoulders becoming too warm but needed to grab slippers as your feet were still cold? This is because in traditional heating systems, heated air rises and then cools as it drops back down, resulting in the uneven heat distribution. It simply is not a comfortable and consistent heat design.
Radiant in-floor heating is truly a ‘game changer’ within the heating industry. It’s the most comfortable and efficient way to heat your home. Radiant in-floor heating can be designed in two different ways: through the use of electric heat wire or small tubing filled with hot water. Both systems are installed under your flooring and radiate heat from the ground up, creating a perfect heating experience.
This picture depicts the ideal heating curve, showing the optimum comfort for the human body. The most ideal heat temperatures suggested for our bodies are 65-68° at the head and shoulders and 82-85° at the floor. Radiant heating (shown on the right side of this image) is designed to match this heating curve, providing overall comfort traditional forced air systems cannot achieve.

Other benefits include:
Energy Efficient: Radiant heat eliminates the inefficient heat loss created by rising heat, as warmth is not distributed through the air.
Allergy-friendly: These systems are allergy-friendly, while forced-air pushes allergens throughout the house.
Quiet Operation: Systems are virtually silent while providing even heat across the home.
