Here’s 5 Reasons You’ll Want Radiant Flooring in Your Home

Radiant flooring is the new heating trend you’re going to want in your home after hearing about all the benefits. Radiant flooring is a heating system that uses warm water to flow through tubing underneath your floor- basically your feet will never be cold again, but it does a lot more than just keep you cozy during the winter. We here at Lenegan Plumbing LLC have been in the heating and cooling business for 30 years, and this is why we love this heating system:

It’s Energy Efficient: Traditional radiators need to be heated to a high temperature (between 149-167 degrees Fahrenheit) in order to heat up a room effectively, whereas floor heating only needs to run at a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the floor finish, in order to warm the room – thereby consuming less energy, and keeping your energy bills far lower. Radiant heat provides an average saving of 15% on heating bills thanks to the efficient way it warms a home.
Effortless to Run: Once installed, underfloor heating needs virtually no maintenance, and through certain companies there are also guarantees on their products.
Works with all floor coverings: You name it you can use radiant flooring with laminate, wood, tile, stone, carpet and more.
Better Air Quality: Radiant flooring keeps the air in your home oxygen-rich. With radiators, high temperatures reduce oxygen levels and also circulates more dust.
It warms underneath your home as well: Radiant heating not only warms upward into your home but also downward into your crawlspace preventing your plumbing system from pipes bursting when temperatures drop.

Underfloor heating is an easy and energy efficient way to warm your home and save substantially on your energy bills in the long run.

There are various options for any budget and can be installed whenever- during the construction phase of your home or even during renovations.
