Radiant heat flooring is largely considered to be the most quality and luxurious method of home heating. Radiant heat floors rely on heat radiating from the floor into the home. This typically provides a more consistent and thorough heating than a forced air system where hot air is blown into a room.

There are two common methods for radiant heated floors:

1. Electric radiant heated floors:

This is most commonly used in retrofit applications and/or in smaller localized areas such as a primary bathroom or kitchen floor. Whole home electric installations are not typical.

2. Hot water radiant heated floors:

This method is most commonly used where the home's primary heating system is radiant heat floors. Hot water is produced in a boiler unit and then circulates through a series of pipes in or under the floor. Heat is transferred from the hot water into the space by way of radiant heating and then returns to the boiler to be reheated. Whole home radiant floor systems are generally designed to have multiple zones for optimal comfort and control.
