How Does Hydronic Floor Heating Work?

Also referred to as radiant floor heating, hydronic floor heating provides a number of advantages over the more traditional forced-air heating. It’s quieter, first off.

Your boiler heats water in your utility room or garage, and that hot water is delivered to each room of your Santa Cruz, CA home through pipes. These pipes are placed 1–4 inches below your floorboards, in each room of your home, where they release the heat gathered and use it to warm your home.

Heat is distributed evenly since it is present in the entire floor, not just a corner of a room where there is a vent (like in the case of forced-air heaters). This makes hydronic floor heating quiet, as we mentioned above, but also very clean and efficient, since there is no air being blown through ductwork that can carry allergens such as dust and pollen.

Hiring our team for hydronic floor heating services will help you avoid problems such as:

• No Foundation Insulation: Radiant heat tubing is placed into wet concrete and uses the thermal mass of that concrete to radiate heat into your home. Insulation must be placed below the slab to prevent heat form going down into the soil rather than up into your home.
• No Heat Reflectors: Heat reflectors are used to direct the warmth from your hydronic floor heating system to the necessary rooms. Since modern technology allows for radiant heating installation in multi-level homes, this is important in directing the heat where it needs to go.
• Improper Flooring: All types of flooring can be used above hydronic heating systems. However, some types can weaken the effect of the system—like carpeted rooms, especially those with very thick carpet padding.

Where Does Hydronic Floor Heating Work Best?

First off, hydronic floor heating installation is best done during the construction or remodel of your home as it allows us to make recommendations based on what other contractors are doing to your home. However, we can give you some basic guidance (and urge you to contact us for further details).
