Unlike conventional forced hot air heating systems, radiant floor heating doesn't blow dust and allergens into and around your home. These systems are much more efficient than ducted heating systems and do not fill the perimeter of a room with valuable and rapidly dissipating heat that you will never feel.
Subfloor heating systems produce heat from the floor up, where it is needed most. The result is an even spread of heat which warms the whole room. It can depend on the configuration of your home, but under the right conditions, subfloor heating can be more economical to run compared to conventional heating systems.
How Much Will It Cost to Install Radiant Floor Heating?
The cost to install radiant floor heating for an average home will range between $6,000 and $14,000, and most customers will pay in the region of about $10,000. The total price will largely be determined by labor costs, which in turn depends on the amount of flooring to be converted. In smaller spaces like bathrooms, some homeowners will prefer to just install electric mat style radiant floor heating to keep the costs down.
Radiant floor heating is arguably the most ideal home heating system available. It’s comfortable, efficient, unobtrusive, silent, and does not blow dust and allergens around the home. Be sure to compare as many quotes as possible from professionals in your area to ensure that you get the best price possible.
