Evenly Distributed Heat
Radiant heat works from the floor up, so it helps distribute the heat throughout your home more evenly. As the heat rises from your floor, it disperses through the room, providing you with comfortable temperatures throughout your home.
Safe to Use
People wonder whether it will be safe for their young children to crawl on their floors when the radiant heat is working. You’ll find that it’s safe to use for children, pets, and others in your home. As long as the heat is installed up to UL standards with low-voltage energy, you can put anything on the radiant heat without any problems in your home.
Reliable
Once the radiant heat has been installed in your home, there will be very little maintenance needed to keep it running properly. You can have a warranty for your system that can last around 25 years, but there is a low probability of using it for your radiant heat.
Efficient
Since radiant heat warms your feet first, people tend to feel more comfortable with the temperature at a much faster rate. The efficient manner of the heater ends up reducing the operating time. This can help you save on your utility bills, especially since radiant heat relies on low-voltage energy to work.
Convenient
Radiant heat is easy to use. You can program it to turn on when you’re waking up in the morning and when you’re getting home from work. This way you can enjoy the heat when you’re home, and you won’t have to worry about it while your household is out for the day.
Quiet
One of the biggest differences between radiant heat and other types of heating systems is that it’s quiet. You won’t have a loud furnace turning on or air coming through your vents. You won’t have to turn up the television when your furnace comes to life. Your radiant heater will turn on and work without you even noticing that it’s on.
Clean Air
A furnace will push warm air through the ductwork in your home. Most of the time, you’ll find that the ducts are filled with dust, allergens, pests, and other things that can decrease the air quality in your home. Radiant heating doesn’t require ductwork, so you won’t have to worry about the quality of the air that you’re breathing when it’s on in your home.
