Your choice of radiant heating or any type of heating system will determine the method in which heat is distributed through your living space. In-floor heating produces radiant heating in your flooring, which makes you feel warm. Much like the ground outside on a hot day makes you feel warmer, so does in-floor heating.

A radiator operates by heating the air surrounding them using convection. This may leave you wondering how it’s different from forced-air heating. First off, you don’t need to worry about ductwork which can lead to inefficiency problems as well as indoor air quality issues. Secondly, instead of having heat blown out by a stagnant vent on the wall, the radiator system heats all the air in the room. The heated air rises and as it cools, it falls down to the ground level to be heated by convection again, creating a consistent flow of warm air.

For these reasons, a radiator is a great option for many homeowners. To schedule radiator installation in Santa Cruz, CA and the surrounding area, call our team today!

What Type of Radiator Is Best for Your Home?

There are a number of different types of radiators available. The kind you might be most familiar with is a baseboard radiator, which is a long, narrow unit that runs along the baseboards at the bottom of the wall. It radiates heat out, effectively heating the whole room. As mentioned above, the heated air rises, so floor placement makes the most sense for this type of radiator.

Radiant panels are another option. These are bit more complex, but some Santa Cruz, CA homeowners prefer them over the baseboard model. Radiant panels are most frequently installed in-floor, however they can be installed in walls and ceilings, too. To determine what type of radiator is best for your specific needs, contact California Radiant with any questions you have.
