How Does Radiant Heating Work?

Unlike forced-air heating systems, your radiant heating system warms your home from the ground up and spreads evenly throughout your home. This is more efficient than forced-air systems that pump hot air into your home. At Northwest Mechanical, Inc., our in-floor heating system utilizes a method called hydronic heating, in which hot water is used as the heat source.

The benefits of radiant heating include:

• Your home is warmed more evenly than with traditional forced-air systems
• Radiant in-floor heating is more energy-efficient
• You don’t have to deal with drafty rooms or cold floors
• Can be used with any flooring
• Can be used in both residential and commercial settings

Radiant heating is especially useful in colder climates, such as ours in the Pacific Northwest. With in-floor heating, you won't be faced with the shock of getting out of bed and stepping onto a cold floor. Additionally, because you and the surfaces in your home are warmed directly, you begin to feel more comfortable sooner than when you have to wait for a traditional heating system to fill your rooms with hot air.
