Many people think of heated floors as more of a luxury than an energy saver. It is actually both! Normal heating uses air flow to spread the air throughout a home, but radiant floor heat does not. That is why it is more efficient. Radiant floor heating does not lose energy though ducts. The heat rises from the floor and naturally circulates throughout the room. The type of flooring used with an in-floor radiant heating system is important. Tile is the most efficient because the heat easily passes through it, but carpet also will work. At Klasinski Plumbing, we installed the automatic snow melting system for the Hotel Whiting in Stevens Point, WI. This system cleverly uses radiant floor heating to melt away snow from its driveway. Now that is a luxury! Radiant floor heating can save you money and is worth looking into. At Klasinski Plumbing, we are in-floor radiant heating experts.
