Expert Underfloor Radiant Heating Installation & Radiant Heating Repair

Specialists in Hydronic Radiant Heating Installation & Design

We are experts in hydronic radiant heating, the most energy-efficient method of underfloor heating, which uses hot water circulated through PEX tubing beneath your floor.

The Hydronic Advantage:

• Superior Efficiency: Water is a better heat conductor than air. Hydronic systems are extremely efficient, often saving up to 30% on heating bills compared to forced-air.
• Silent & Clean: No drafts, no dust, and completely silent operation—ideal for allergy sufferers and those who value quiet comfort.
• Whole-Home or Zoned: We custom-design systems for single rooms (like bathrooms or kitchens) or entire homes, allowing for precise temperature control through separate heating zones.
• System Integration: As a dual plumbing and HVAC company, we expertly integrate the radiant loops with the heat source, which often includes a high-efficiency boiler repair and installation or a dedicated water heater.

Understanding Radiant Floor Heating Cost: While the initial radiant floor heating installation cost can be higher than traditional forced air (typically ranging from $8 to $24 per square foot for the system), the long-term energy savings and enhanced comfort provide a superior return on investment.
