Imagine waking up to warm, toasty floors—no more cold tiles or chilly mornings. Radiant floor heating gently warms your home from the ground up, creating luxurious, even comfort in every room.

What Is Radiant Floor Heating—and Why Is It So Comfortable?
Radiant floor heating systems use warm water circulated through PEX tubing beneath your floors to create gentle, consistent heat. There’s no blowing air or dusty ducts—just pure, silent warmth rising through your home. Many homeowners tell us radiant heat is the single biggest comfort upgrade they’ve ever made!
Perfect for:
- Bathrooms, kitchens, and master suites
- Finished basements and additions
- Homes with tile, stone, or engineered wood flooring
- Anyone tired of cold spots and chilly feet
Why Choose Radiant Heating? Major Advantages
- Even, whole-room warmth: No more cold spots or drafts—heat starts at your feet and fills the room
- Silent operation: No noisy blowers or fans
- Healthier air: No dust or allergens circulated
- Energy efficient: Radiant systems often feel warmer at lower thermostat settings (can be up to 15% more efficient than baseboard heat)
- Works with any home: Can be installed in new construction, during remodels, or retrofitted from below in many cases
Radiant floor heating can even add value to your home, making it a smart investment as well as a comfort upgrade.

Is Radiant Right for My Home? Considerations
Radiant is easiest to add during renovations, but many homes can be retrofitted with radiant zones—especially basements or rooms over accessible areas. The system works best with properly insulated floors and compatible surfaces (tile, stone, some wood). We’ll assess your home and give you clear, honest advice on what’s possible and what will deliver the best comfort and efficiency.
Radiant Floor Heating FAQ
Can I add radiant floor heating to my existing house?
Absolutely! While it’s simplest during remodels, many homes can be retrofitted, especially from below (like in basements). We’ll evaluate your space and layout the best options for you.
Radiant vs. baseboard heating—what’s better?
Radiant systems offer more even heat, no drafts, and greater comfort at lower thermostat settings. Baseboards are simpler to install but often leave cold spots and limit furniture placement. We can help you compare both for your home.
How much does radiant floor heating cost to install?
Costs depend on the size of the area, type of flooring, and your current heating system. We provide detailed, no-pressure quotes and can show you financing options to spread out costs.
What maintenance does a radiant system need?
Radiant heat is low-maintenance, but annual checks help ensure efficiency—cleaning the boiler, flushing the system, and inspecting for leaks or trapped air.
Do you repair radiant heat and in-floor heating systems?
Yes! We service and repair all types of hydronic radiant systems—including leak detection, manifold repair, and system flushing for older installations.
