What IS Radiant Heating?


WHAT IS RADIANT HEATING?

Radiant heating is an alternative, unique, efficient and cost effective heating system that can comfort your home without noise, drafts or high costs that accompany forced air systems. Radiant heat produces a mild, even and comfortable warmth that you need to experience.

Why haven't I heard of it before?

Good question. Radiant heating has been used since the ancient Roman days when they built fires under elevated floors to heat the rooms above. Radiant heating is popular in Europe and was brought to the United States where systems were installed using steel and copper pipes. Today, with the development of synthetic tube products such as Aqua Pex from WIRSBO and the reliability of manufacturing, we can offer systems with materials that will last the life of the house. People are now rediscovering the comfort and efficiency of radiant floor heating.

There are many applications:

  • Snow melts on driveways, walk ways, porches and public areas
  • Custom designed homes
  • Zoos
  • Child care facilities
  • Wineries
  • Industrial applications
  • Retail stores
  • Anywhere climate control is required
