Radiant heated flooring can be a truly great option for the winter season months, if you are dealing with brand new construction or a remodel.
When you add radiant heat to the flooring, it has to be installed underneath the tile, carpet, or wood; During the new construction phase, this can be achieved with ease; Once your home is already built, it’s going to be rather hard to get rid of the flooring and put down radiant heat.
I regularly tell my shoppers that I can do it, but it’s going to be fancy. The truth is that I can do any type of heating or cooling job, but it may be more money than the customer wants to pay. I had a customer call me about radiant heated flooring a couple of weeks ago. I knew it was going to be a enjoyable choice, and the guy told me that he was planning to remodel the area where he wanted radiant heated flooring. I went out to the location and gave the guy an estimate. At the time the home was together and it sure didn’t look like he was planning to remodel. A week later the whole location was demolished and I had full reign of the master living room kitchen, living area, and bathrooms to add radiant heated flooring equipment. It took my crew and I a couple of days to install all of the necessary equipment, but the new hydronic furnace and compact boiler will be energy efficient and last a long time. I wish every upgrade job could be so easy.
