In places where and seasons when the biting cold penetrates the walls, floors, and ceilings, even one’s own homes can be a cold place to come home to, unless you have an effective floor heating system. There are several floor heating systems to choice from, but if you are looking for the safest and most effective, your best bet would be the hydronic floor heating.
Here’s a nice-to-know trivia: Hydronic floor heating systems were already used by even ancient civilizations. In fact, the Romans pioneered in the use of hydronic heaters. It has since then, evolved to fit modern homes. It is by far the most effective means of heating your home or office’s floor because the method is straightforward. Water is heated by a boiler, and then is pumped into the house. Tubing systems, installed underneath the floor, fill with the boiling water which then radiates to the cement. That’s why the floors are actually warm and never burn your feet.
There’s really no bigger and more obvious benefit of radiant floor heat than consistent, and evenly distributed warmth on the floor that you and your family are stepping on. Liquid is a reliable holder of heat, and it radiates heat uniformly. Another perk to consider is the lessened energy costs. Hydronic systems do not require a lot of energy, since the boiler does all the work. The only drawback of these systems is that they need to be connected plumbing system, so it’s best to have it installed while your home is undergoing renovations.
