Radiant Flooring
Definition
A heating system using tubes or electric wires installed underneath the flooring.Things you need to know
Hydronic radiant flooring is the most commonly used and most cost-effective type. It is generally more efficient than forced-air or baseboard heating. Electric radiant floors usually save money only if they are combined with a significant thermal mass (i.e. a thick concrete floor) and only if your local electric company offers time-of-use rates.
Also known as
Radiant Floor Heating, In-Floor Heating
Cost Considerations
A hydronic radiant floor heating system normally runs less than $3 per square foot.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
