Radiant floor heating is an efficient way to comfortably heat your home. In fact, radiant is much more efficient than many other home heating methods! It’s also an excellent choice for homeowners who suffer from allergies or who have high ceilings. In a radiant setup, the warmth is supplied by hot-water tubes or electric wires buried underneath the floor. As the invisible waves of thermal radiation rise from below, they warm up any objects they strike, which radiate that captured heat in turn. Though the air temperature remains relatively constant, you stay comfortable because the surrounding surfaces aren't stealing warmth from your body.
Cocalico’s photo gallery of a recent new-home installation provides insight into how radiant is installed in a new home…including in the garage. We can also use radiant heat in your driveway, sidewalk or porch to melt snow in the winter to alleviate any shoveling in the winter.
