When everything is functioning correctly, the space should receive consistent heating all day long. But when you trust radiant floor heating systems to local experts like Howe, consistent heat is just the beginning of the benefits you’ll enjoy.

• Energy Efficiency: According to Energy.gov, hydronic floor heating systems are particularly energy efficient. Duct-free operation: Ductwork is crucial for central, forced-air heating, but it’s also the largest source of heat loss. Radiant floor heating is duct-free, lowering heat loss and simplifying maintenance.
• Easy to adjust or scale: When expanding a property with forced-air heating, new ductwork or heaters are often required. Radiant floor heating is more easily scalable, allowing homes and businesses alike to install the exact amount of additional equipment they need.
• Even distribution of heat: In-floor heating systems radiate evenly wherever the piping is installed. Not only is this more comfortable, but it also avoids the drafts common when forced-air systems only have a few open vents available.
• Improved indoor air quality: Furnaces reduce the percentage of moisture in the air, which can lead to dry skin, sinus irritation, etc. Radiant heat flooring keeps humidity levels balanced, and the lack of ductwork reduces the chance airborne allergens circulate into the building.
