How would you like to feel warm and cozy in your home during even the most frigid of winters — without spending an arm and a leg on your energy bills?

If it sounds too good to be true, you don’t know much about radiant floor heat!

These systems are an investment that you definitely need to consider. In order to help you decide if they’re right for you, check out the answers to these 3 questions:

1. How does the process work?

Radiant floor heat systems use a network of cables that go right under your floors. This technology is commonly called “heated tile“, but the cables can go under much more than tile. They can also be used with vinyl, laminate, marble, granite, and a slew of other types of flooring.

Whenever you want warm floors, all you have to do is turn the system on. The cables will start to heat up, and the heat will go through your floors and onto your feet.

Since heat naturally rises (remember that little tidbit from your elementary school science days?), it’s a much more effective way to heat things. As a result, radiant floor heat can keep you warm — without using as much energy as your traditional heater does. You won’t be able to turn your heater off completely, but it won’t need to run nearly as much.

2. How warm will my floors be?

That’s entirely up to you! A good radiant floor heat system will come with a thermostat for each room. That way, you can have heated tile in one room and cooler floors in another room. As a result, you’ll save even more energy — because you won’t have to worry about “overheating” any of the rooms in your house.
As an added benefit, radiant floor heat systems work quickly. The good ones can reach your desired temperature in just a few minutes.

3. Is it better to use hydronic floor heat?

No!

Hydronic floor heat systems place tiny tubes of water under your floors, instead of cables. As a result, you have to use energy to heat up the water. Then, you have to use energy to make the water rush through the tubes and heat up your floors. In the end, you wind up using twice as much energy as you would with a radiant floor heat system!

If you’re looking to save some money on your energy bills — without having to bundle up like an Eskimo in your own home — the best solution is to warm your floors with a radiant floor heat system.
