ELECTRIC RADIANT FLOOR HEATING.
Electric radiant floor heat is a system that pumps heated water from a boiler through tubing. The tubing can be installed by stapling it up under an existing floor, laid on top of an existing floor and covered with wood or tile or installed in a thin layer of concrete. The mass of the floor is heated and then radiates up into the room.

At Indoor Air Technologies, we specialize in hydronic (water) systems. They are the most popular and cost effective. The temperature in each room is controlled by regulating the flow of hot water through each tubing loop. This is done by a system of zone valves or pumps and thermostats. Smaller areas can be supplied with a hot water heater.
Most often in a “dry” installation it involves suspending the tubing underneath the subfloor between the joists. Reflective insulation must also be installed under the tubes to direct the heat upward. Ceramic tile is the most common and effective floor covering for radiant, as it conducts heat well from the floor and adds thermal storage because of its high heat capacity.
