Some of the specialists at Source One Builders – who have years of experience in contracting and rehabbing homes, said that radiant heating is a technology for heating indoors and outdoors through radiant heat. On asking for the reason of its gaining popularity, they say that, it not only saves energy but also creates a healthier, more comfortable living environment by having the floor itself distribute the heat—from the ground up—via a radiant in-floor heating system. In addition to this, it has some other benefits like the temperature is consistent and easy to control, no dust or allergens get circulated within your home through air vents, and it is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because no energy is lost through ducts.
A spokesperson from Source One Builders says on being asked - Is Radiant heating still an option if we have an existing concrete floor? “Yes. Newer ultra-thin electric heating mats are available that can be embedded in thin-set cement or gypsum overlays, allowing retrofitting over existing slabs without significantly raising the floor height”.
