How Radiant Heating Works
Radiant floor heating uses either hydronic (water) or electric systems embedded in flooring to provide even heat distribution. Installation involves tubing layout, manifold installation, boiler integration (hydronic), flooring compatibility assessment, and zone control configuration. Repair addresses circulation issues, leak detection, and control problems.
Typical Process
Timeframe: 2 days to 1 week
