Service & Information provided by: A History of Warmth Believe it or not, radiant floors are one of the oldest forms of heating a structure — dating all the way back to Roman times. Radiant floor heat provides numerous benefits, including increased comfort, even temperatures, cleaner air, no cold drafts, no unsightly ductwork and no floor vents, all while being quieter and more energy-efficient compared to forced-air heat. Forced-air Heat vs. Radiant Heat ![]() Ultimate Energy-efficient Comfort The water in a radiant system has a capacity to transport energy 3,500 times greater than air, so it can heat (and even cool) using less energy than a forced-air system. This amounts to greater comfort at a lower thermostat setting, which provides lower energy bills. In fact, more people are comfortable with radiant floor heating at a lower thermostat setting than with forced-air heating at a higher thermostat setting.
The benefits of Hydronic Heating; Clean - Because radiant doesn't use blowers, it doesn't circulate dirt, dust, pollutants or allergens throughout the home. Comfortable - Reaches every corner of the house. Even takes the chill out of kitchen, bathroom and lower level floors. Economical - Could reduce your heating bill dramatically. And saving energy is good for the environment. Guaranteed - When installed by an Uponor-trained professional the Uponor Radiant Heating System is guaranteed for 30 years. Practical - Uponor radiant floor heating concentrates the heat near the floor where you and your family can benefit from it. Versatile - Works with any kind of floor covering. Ideal for installations in concrete slabs: lower levels, basements and garages. Other Radiant Applications Snow and Ice Melting: The concept of radiant floor heating can also make driveways and walkways clean and dry during the winter, eliminating the need for salting, sanding or shoveling. Uponor snow and ice melt systems help lower maintenance costs, reduce dangerous accidents associated with slippery walkways, extend the life of concrete and asphalt, and eliminate disturbing noise from snow blowers as well as the problem of tracking salt and sand into your home.
