BENEFITS | Complete Home Comfort
The number one benefit to a radiant floor heating system is comfort. Whereas a forced air system delivers heat which quickly rises to the ceiling, a radiant floor heating system "radiates" heat from the floor and delivers the heat evenly throughout the rooms. Listed here are some of the other benefits:
Aesthetics: Underfloor heating is invisible from above and does not use valuable wall space with unsightly heating equipment. In a sense, the entire floor is a radiator, although, because of its area, it need not reach the high temperatures of a steam radiator. It has a particular advantage in public areas where exposed hot or sharp surfaces can be dangerous and unsightly.
Thermal Comfort: Radiant heating is arguably superior to convection methods because warm, buoyant air rises wastefully to the ceiling in convection-heated rooms, warming the upper body (often with some discomfort, particularly to the head) but leaving the lower body cooler.
High Efficiency & energey Savings: Radiant floor heating uses conditioned water to heat your house, your comfort can be precise with room by room control. You can experience fuel savings up to 40% over forced hot air systems and vaulted ceilings may see even greater savings. Evenly distributed heat from a radiant floor heating system can allow the thermostat to be set 2-4° less than in a forced air heating system. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40%. (Check with the utility in your area to verify what a 2-4° temperature decrease would amount to in savings in your area).
Clean & Healthy: Doesn't spew dust, pollutants and allergens into the air. No hot circulating air to move dust and airborne particles. Pollen and mold are greatly reduced. This is great for people with allergy problems!
Economical: Could reduce your heating bill dramatically and saving energy is good for the environment.
Guaranteed: When installed by an ASP-trained professional the Radiant Infloor Heating System is guaranteed to last years.
Practical: Radiant infloor 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. Doesn't spew dust, pollutants and allergens into the air.
Comfortable: Reaches every corner of the house. Even takes the chill out of kitchen, bathroom and lower level floors.
Warm & Dry Floors: Never step onto a cold floor again, no more cold, damp basements.
Silent Operation: No noisy fans, clunking ducting, or rushing air currents. No hum or whistle of a forced air system.
Design Freedom: Place furniture wherever you like, no need to worry about blocking air ducts or grills.
