If you are renovating your home and thinking about “extras” that you want in your home, there are many options that you can choose. Some of these things may be considered extravagant, some may be considered useful, and some are a combination of both. One of the coolest options to install is radiant in-floor heating. There are several reasons why this is so.
Comfortable
When heating is installed in the floor of your home, you no longer have to worry about the chill of the floor in the morning or during the cold seasons where you live. Since there are actual miniature heaters installed in the floor, there is also the benefit of the even distribution of heat throughout the home instead of having hot spots and cold spots.
Cost Effective
Believe it or not, in the long run, it can actually be cheaper to have an in-floor heating system than it is to have a traditional HVAC system. The main reason for this is that heat rises and when the heat is coming from the ground up, it heats the entire room instead of just rising from wherever the HVAC unit is placed. This ensures that the entire room is heated, not just the area measured from the waist up.
Reduced Allergens
When you rely on a forced-air system to heat your home, you are definitely at risk of blowing dust, dander, and pollen throughout the home. However, with radiant in-floor heating, there is no air being blown so there is no chance of this happening.
