What is radiant heating?

Radiant heating systems supply warm energy directly from the floor, walls or ceilings. The heat is delivered directly from a hot surface and distributed with radiant heat transfer.

Infrared radiation is used to deliver heat in the room. The warmth of a hot stovetop from across the room is the effect you feel from radiant heating. Radiant floor heating is located in the floor. It can also be referred to as just floor heating.

What are the benefits?

There are a number of benefits from radiant heating, these systems tend to be more healthy and comfortable than vent heating. The following advantages apply.

  • Effectiveness: It is more effective than baseboard heating. It is generally more efficient than forced–air heating as well. This is because duct losses are eliminated.
  • Hypoallergenic: Radiant heat is preferred by people with allergies because it doesn’t distribute allergens. Vent heating systems gather pollen and dust and pump air that has traces of it throughout the entire home.
  • Energy Efficiency: Radiant heating systems are installed beneath the floor. They typically use less energy than forced air systems. This is because heat is directly radiated from the building and does not expend the extra energy necessary to travel through vents.
  • Comfort: The heat these system produce feel more natural. It radiates throughout the home and continues to spread upward. This is similar to the action of heat in nature from the sun. The sun heats the ground and slowly releases it over a matter of hours. This kind of heat feels warmer at lower temperatures than forced air heating. Radiant heating spreads slowly into the air without air movement. This is what makes it seem warmer.
