Radiant Heating System in Kawartha Lakes

Radiant heat has grown in popularity over the years, and for good reason:

1. It’s more energy efficient than traditional heating mechanisms: The earth will thank you, and so will your wallet. Radiant heating systems require less energy because they are able to distribute heat in a highly effective manner. Comparatively, 20 to 30% of heated air is lost in forced air systems. Over the months and years that amounts to a lot of wasted energy.

2. It’s incredibly discreet: If you’re tired of listening to the attention-grabbing thrum of your furnace every time it springs into action, you’ll love radiant heat. It works quietly behind the scenes to heat your home and doesn’t require any visible components. 

3. It provides even heat: Are you tired of walking into frigid rooms that your furnace is inexplicably unable to heat? Experiencing random cold pockets in areas that are otherwise warm? Underfloor heating provides consistent heat from room to room, corner to corner, because of coils that span the entire breadth of the chosen area. 

4. It doesn’t require ducts: Air ducts (and forced air systems as a whole) are a great option for many households – but they do come with some downfalls. They’re a breeding ground for dust and debris. They have to be cleaned on a semi-regular basis, which is costly. If poorly maintained, they can worsen the allergies of people inside the home. All of this can be avoided with a radiant floor-heating system.

5. It’s flexible: There’s a lot of flexibility with radiant heat. While we’re proponents of whole-house systems, plenty of people opt to install heated floors in select areas of their home instead. Some of the most popular areas people choose are bathrooms and kitchens, since they frequently feature tiled floors that chill easily. You’ll certainly appreciate the added warmth on chilly winter mornings when you’ve just gotten out of bed!
