When my fiance & I built our house, there was no debate about how we’d manage heating.
- With short summers & cold frigid winters that last approximately eight straight months, the heating system is the priority.
My fantastic friend and I weren’t anxious with central cooling. My fantastic friend and I liked the identifiable benefits of radiant radiant floors. The system requires a boiler installed in the basement that heats water & sends it through a series of pipes concealed beneath the floor. The device takes up no space in the house & doesn’t detract from aesthetics. There are no vents & no need to arrange furniture to accommodate the system. The operation is legitimately silent & requires only annual maintenance on the boiler. Because it involves a closed loop system, there’s no way for contaminants to get spread into the breathing air… Radiant radiant floors are often suggested for people with pollen irritations, asthma & respiratory difficulties. The heat from the pipes spreads evenly across the floor from corner to corner, eliminating frigid spots & causing no drafts. The floors sizzling up all of the objects on the floor, further radiating heat. The heat rises truly slowly & avoids stratification. The temperature at the ceiling is never more than three degrees from the thermostat setting. We’ve found that the radiant floors are beautifully energy efficient & keep quarterly utility costs low. Plus, my associate and I have the added rewards of zone control. With a thermostat in each room, we’re able to tailor temperature to occupancy, preferences & the certain needs of the space.
