Consider Radiant Floor Heating Systems Before Winter

Radiant In-Floor Heating: What You Need to Know

Many homeowners are moving away from carpeted flooring in favor of tile, stone, or wood because they’re easier to clean. However, in the Midwest, carpet helps keep feet warm during cold winters.

With radiant in-floor heating, you don’t need carpet to stay warm—this system saves your toes from the cold and lowers your utility costs during winter.

Beyond warm floors, radiant heating also:

✔️ Improves air quality by eliminating forced air circulation.
✔️ Runs quietly—no noisy vents or radiators.
✔️ Provides even, consistent warmth throughout the space.

If you’re considering radiant floor heating, here’s what you should know.

Choosing the Right Flooring

Because radiant heating is installed beneath your floor, the type of flooring you choose impacts efficiency.

✔️ Best options – Tile, marble, and stone conduct heat efficiently, maximizing warmth.
✔️ Avoid – Carpet, hardwood, and vinyl, as they act as insulation, reducing heat transmission.

Where to Install Radiant Heating

Some homeowners install radiant floor heating in just one room, but it offers maximum benefits when used in multiple spaces.

✔️ Kitchen – Walk on warm tile while preparing meals.
✔️ Bathroom – Step onto heated marble after a shower.
✔️ Living areas & bedrooms – Keep your entire home cozy without bulky radiators or vents.

Keeping Up with Regular Maintenance

Like any home system, radiant floor heating requires maintenance to ensure longevity.

✔️ With proper maintenance, radiant heating can last 30+ years.
✔️ Schedule routine inspections to keep the system running efficiently.
✔️ Contact a professional for guidance on maintaining your system.
