I never easily knew what radiant floor heating was until I experienced it in my new home… Radiant floor heating can come from either an electric or water based system.
Our radiant floor heating is electric based & is also based through the moderate air in our downstairs! My friend and I have a few air vents that are installed on the first floor ceiling which goes to the upstairs floor so the floor is warm, and it is easily advantageous that my buddy and I have this feature because when my buddy and I wake up during a frosty winter afternoon, our feet hardly ever get frosty when my buddy and I walk on the wood floors, but eventually my buddy and I would like to have the electric based radiant floor heating on our second floor, then there are a lot of pros when it comes to having electric base heating, but not only is it energy efficient because it saves 15% on heating bills, however there are no frosty spots, & there is actually little maintenance.
Radiant floor heating is not like an Heating & Air Conditioning system where the Heating & Air Conditioning system has to be diagnosed, & cleaned by an Heating & Air Conditioning professional like with our boiler every year, but what is easily nice about our radiant floor heating is that since my buddy and I do not have that maintenance, our Heating & Air Conditioning worker installed the flooring with a lifetime warranty so if there is any problems down the road it is completely covered & my buddy and I do not have to pay anything. I hope that the floor would come with a lifetime warranty since since my buddy and I did invest thousands of dollars into this type of boiler. Overall, it is worth it in the end & I advise it to everyone.
