Radiant Floor Heating
Radiant floor heating is a tried-and-true, efficient way of providing optimum comfort for your Petrolia, ON home. Also known as radiant heating systems, radiant floor systems offer numerous benefits—increased comfort, even temperatures, and no cold drafts, all while being quieter and more energy efficient than forced-air heat.
With this type of heating, components are installed underneath your floor, warming up every object in the room. No blowing of air containing possible allergens and dust in your home. You can enjoy the glow of continuous warmth throughout every nook and cranny. No more cold areas in rooms.
At A Village Fireplace Shop, we thoroughly understand radiant heating. Our professionals provide all the radiant floor heating services you need to feel cozier than ever inside your home here in Ontario.
How Does It Work?
Radiant floors work very differently than traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and their forced-air heat. Radiant heat’s warmth originates from hot-water tubes or electric wires buried beneath your home’s floor.
As the invisible waves of heat rise from below, instead of warming the air, they warm any and all objects in the room. These now-warmed items radiate the captured heat.
Your room’s air temperature remains steady since your furniture and other items are not stealing warmth from you. This creates a reliable type of comfort in your home—the heat does not dip as it sometimes can with forced-air heating.
Hydronic Floor Heating
If you are interested in having radiant floor heating throughout your entire home, then hydronic floors is the way to go. Your boiler or water heater provides the hot water, which travels through the tubing underneath the floors and creates the floor heating you need to feel comfortable throughout your home.
There are several different ways to have hydronic floors installed, and our A Village Fireplace Shop experts would be happy to go over the best options for you.
Electric Floor Heating
Although electric floor heating is usually not the primary source for heat in a home, it’s a great way to keep comfortable, especially during colder seasons. If you have an addition to your home or want to keep your bathrooms extra warm, adding electric floor heating could be the perfect solution as it’s a viable option for supplemental heat.
