The Benefits of a Radiant Heating System in Your Home
Whether you live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Great Falls, Virginia or someplace in between, you know that the Washington, DC-Maryland-Northern Virginia-area can get really cold during winter time. Installing a radiant heating system in your home will help keep you cozy and warm.
The term "radiant heat" is defined as a heating system which uses hot water or steam pipes, or electronic resistance coils to heat the floors (radiant floor heating), walls or the ceiling of a room. Radiant heat is comfortable, clean, energy efficient, and is an ideal solution for any new home construction or remodeling project.
Some of the benefits of installing a radiant heating system in your Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metro area home include:
Comfort from Radiant Floor Heating
Let your bare feet soak up the warmth of soothing heat without the dust and noise associated with other heating sources. Enjoy evenly distributed heat throughout your home kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and basement.
Custom Designed
Whether for supplemental floor warming, or total space heating, every radiant heating system is custom designed to fit all rooms regardless of their shape or size. Radiant heating systems will heat under any surface including marble, slate, carpet, hardwood and tile. The compact Control Box will hang on the wall of your garage or in a utility room of your home. No heating vents or ducts will be seen, and no furnace or boiler is required to operate this system.
Perfect for Remodeling and Additions
The simplicity of the low voltage heating element makes a radiant heating system incredibly easy to install in your new addition or remodeled rooms. No floor buildup is necessary and no additional construction costs are incurred. The unique heating element can also be installed in between floor joists to heat an existing floor or room.
Safe
So safe, in fact that nails, water, and even touching the heating element during operation will have no harmful effect! You will have peace of mind while loved ones play as the systems are tested to UL standards and run on worry-free, low-voltage energy (8 to 32 V.).
Reliable
The solid-state heating systems are virtually maintenance free and the heating element is backed with a 25-year industry-leading warranty. With no moving parts and advanced self-diagnosing technology, there is no need for yearly maintenance or service checks.
Efficient
Radiant heat is presently the most efficient form of heat available. Significantly less operating time is required to maintain the desired warmth compared to furnaces and other systems, keeping operational costs to a minimal. Low-voltage radiant heating systems run 98% to 100% efficiency at any elevation as they evenly heat every area of the room.
Convenient
Accurate thermostats allow you to easily adjust the floor or air temperature of your space heating or floor warming system. You also have the option of programming the exact time(s) of day you want your radiant heating system to operate. Simply relax, enjoy the comfort, and know that your system will work for decades to come.
