Radiant heating warms a space by emitting heat from a surface such as a floor, wall, or ceiling. Instead of heating air, it warms objects and people directly, which can improve comfort and reduce drafts. This method often delivers even heat distribution and strong efficiency.

“Flush hydronic radiant systems periodically to remove buildup and preserve efficiency.”
Radiant heating dates back to Roman hypocaust systems that channeled heat under floors.
Is radiant heating expensive to install?
Upfront costs can be higher, but many homes see lower operating costs over time.
Does radiant heating work with any flooring?
Many floor types work, but heat transfer varies—check compatibility first.
Can radiant heating be added to an existing home?
Yes, but retrofits are more complex than new installations.
