Studies have found energy usage averages 40% less in homes with radiant heating than with forced air heating - a big savings in your heating cost . Combine this with the efficiency of EarthLinked
A radiant hydronic heating system circulates warm water through special tubing in or beneath floors to distribute heat. Radiant energy warms the surfaces of all objects which are in direct line of sight, including all floors, walls, furniture and people which can be 'seen' by the floor.
Radiant systems provide the inverse of conventional space heating patterns: they provide
warm floors and cool ceilings, resulting in greater comfort and energy savings. It does not rely on ducting, furnaces, fans or blowers and therefore the system is virtually noiseless due to the lack of air movement.
Geothermal Radiant Hydronic Floor Heating Features:
-
Low cost
- Pleasant
Hydronic heating provides warmth the way nature does by natural convection and radiation and does not dry out the air
- Safety
There is no danger of a burn or scald as the system is fully enclosed with radiator temperatures well below boiling point. The surface temperature of natural convectors is pleasantly warm to the touch.
