Radiant Heating Systems Transfer Heat from Your Home to You

While it’s not overly advanced with jargon-filled science and technology, the way radiant heating systems work does differ from traditional methods such as furnaces, boilers, fireplaces or hydronics heating.  They operate by delivering heat directly from a hot surface to the individuals and objects in the room via the radiation of heat, or infrared radiation.  Because the surface that’s being heated in these systems is often the floor, this method is also known as radiant floor heating or in floor heating.  And while it’s not quite as extreme as walking on top of a stove, it provides you with warmth and comfort that reaches every person in the room. Imagine the difference of eliminating the cold tile floors in your kitchen and bathroom during the cold Renfrew area winter!
