When it comes to building a new home or remodeling an existing structure, In Floor Heat offers many advantages. Here are the top five reasons to consider this efficient form of heating.
No Limits on Flooring Options
The In-Floor Heat will not limit what type of flooring you can lay. Homeowners can select everything from carpet to hardwood planks. The internal heating coils will not affect tiles, stone, or linoleum.
Space Saver
Traditional heaters and stoves take up walls and living space. With heated floors, you can place furniture anywhere in the room. You do not have to worry about long drapes brushing against hot units, and you can hang your pictures and artwork anywhere.
Programmable
Pairing a programmable thermostat with the system gives you the control to warm up the house while you are on the way home or right before everyone wakes up. The timers make it easier to control power usage, which will help reduce your overall utility bill.
Comfort
In-Floor Heat creates radiant heat throughout the room. This warm air moves up and fills the entire space. Traditional heaters do an excellent job of warming the area around them, but moving that hot air evenly around the house can be challenging. Space heaters create cold and hot spots, whereas heated floors uniformly heat corner to ceiling.
Safety
Because the cables are inside the floor, there are no hot elements that little hands might accidentally touch, and these systems eliminate open flames, sparks, and messy wood.
