Types of Radiant Heating Systems

When choosing to use a radiant system in your home, you have two options: electrical radiant heating or hydronic (hot water or steam) radiant heating. Electrical radiant heating utilizes electric cable that generates heat when electrified. These cables can be placed in wet cement to form a radiant slab, or they can be installed directly to subflooring. You will have to make sure that your electrical panel is upgraded enough to handle the extra electrical load of your radiant heating.

If you choose to use a hydronic radiant system, you’ll need a boiler to provide the hot water or steam necessary for the system. Flexible PEX tubing is used in this kind of radiant heating system because it can be easily installed as a radiant slab or underneath flooring, and the hot water or steam can easily travel through the tubing to provide the needed heat. As you can imagine, both of these installation require the expertise of a trained professional, and that’s where the pros from Big Horn Heating & Cooling come in.

Benefits of Radiant Systems

Why do people choose radiant heating systems? Here are some of the benefits our customers have gained:

• Systems are virtually soundless – an electric radiant system shouldn’t make any noise at all, and a hydronic one only generates noise from the boiler. If you are looking for a quiet heating system, radiant heating may be a great choice for you.
• Very good for allergy sufferers – if you have allergy sufferers in your home, you know how agitating forced air systems can be for them. You won’t have to worry about any swirling air with a radiant heating system.
• Gentle warmth – radiant systems warm by heating objects, in this case, your floors, and this kind of heat is very gentle and helps maintain moisture balance.
