Electrical Floor Heating and Snow Melting System
Radiant floor heating is a form of heating that involves placing a network of tubing in your flooring, which then transfers heat throughout the room. It is great for any room in your home: when you walk on your floor, the radiant heat bounces off of it and heats the rest of your home. This keeps all of your rooms at an even temperature and helps save money on energy costs. Radiant heating systems are usually found on the floor and walls, and in the earlier times, worked by circulating warm water through special plastic tubing embedded in concrete or plywood subfloors.
Electric Floor Heating
Radiant Floor Heating Installation uses self-regulating tubing and mats which allows for instant heat. The heat is generated by electricity which either comes from the grid or a solar panel. A radiant floor heating system allows you to customize your home’s climate comfort level with the touch of a button.
Radiant floor heating is an energy-efficient way to warm your home and one that can also save you money.
Radiant floor heating systems are not only efficient but also advantageous in several ways. For instance, the system requires no ductwork, registers or returns to make it function. Because of this, the floors are warmer than the radiators sitting on top of them and will warm any objects they touch in the room. This means that those objects won’t steal heat from your body.
Radiant floor heating allows you to control how much heat you want to generate in each room. You can choose whether you want one room warmer than another, or if all rooms should be at the same temperature. It’s not only quiet and efficient but brings a feeling of freedom from the hassle of cords and cables. The floor heating mechanism has been around from the time of ancient Romans and Turks. Back then, they heated their homes and bathhouses to warm marble floors and tiles. Over time, the mechanism went outdated and eventually fell out of use. It has now evolved considerably from ancient times, from copper piping and water heating to advanced technology such as cross-linked polyethene tubing. Not only is it a non-corrosive option, but also an efficient choice for heating homes today.
How does Electric Floor Heating Work?
In the conventional types of heating systems, such as forced-air heating, air blows at a high temperature, and being less dense, rises to the top of the room. Once it grows colder and denser, it comes back down. This results in uneven heating with your head warm and your toes cold. The heating system in your home can thus create an uneven, uncomfortable temperature throughout the rooms in your home. With our electric floor heating systems, there is no need for you to adjust the temperature up or down. With this efficient heating system, the entire room heats evenly and simultaneously. This is great for energy savings and comfort.
Radiant floor heat systems usually provide even heating throughout a room without a constant on and off-cycle like forced-air systems. This makes it ideal for installation under most types of flooring, including tile and hardwood. As always, our design team will be happy to recommend the right type of system for your needs.
