- Radiant Floor Heating
Radiant Floor Heating - Some geothermal units can provide hot water for radiant floor applications, utilizing tubing encased in the floor. By circulating warm water through the tubing, the room is comfortably conditioned. Since the entire floor acts as a giant radiator, you’ll experience consistent comfort throughout the room from head to toe. Floors covered in tile, wood, linoleum or stone are kept toasty warm, even on the coldest days. Homeowners with radiant floor heating systems enjoy the benefit of warm bathroom floors even with bare feet. Basement floors or other concrete slab floors are also a perfect application for radiant heating. And with an individual thermostat in every room, you can simultaneously keep the bathroom floors at a higher temperature, your bedrooms and main living spaces warm and cozy, while just taking the chill off a basement floor; it’s completely up to you.
