Enhancing Comfort With Radiant Floor Heating Systems
Radiant floor heating distributes warmth from the ground up, eliminating cold spots, drafts, and uneven temperatures common with forced-air heating. Homeowners appreciate the quiet operation, improved energy efficiency, and luxurious comfort these systems bring to everyday living.
TRS installs both hydronic and electric radiant solutions, helping you determine which system best fits your home’s layout, energy goals, and budget. Every project is carefully crafted using top-grade materials and manufacturer-approved practices to ensure long-term performance.
Delivering Radiant Floor Heating System Installations With Precision
A successful radiant floor heating system installation requires meticulous attention to detail, proper system sizing, and a complete understanding of hydronic design. Our team is NATE-accredited, BPI-certified, and professionally trained across multiple manufacturers, ensuring every installation meets the highest industry standards.
We take time to evaluate insulation, flooring materials, existing heating equipment, and overall home design. Because radiant systems integrate closely with boilers and other heating equipment, we also assess related components to guarantee your entire heating system runs efficiently.
If you’re completing new construction or a major remodel, we work alongside builders and homeowners to keep the project on schedule and ensure the radiant system is seamlessly integrated.
How does radiant floor heating work?
Radiant heating systems supply heat directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house. The systems depend largely on radiant heat transfer — the delivery of heat directly from the hot surface to the people and objects in the room via infrared radiation. Radiant heating is the effect you feel from the warmth of a hot stovetop element from across the room. When radiant heating is located in the floor, it is often called radiant floor heating or simply floor heating.
Radiant heating has a number of advantages. It is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because it eliminates duct losses. People with allergies often prefer radiant heat because it doesn’t distribute allergens like forced air systems can. Hydronic (liquid-based) systems use little electricity, a benefit for homes off the power grid or in areas with high electricity prices. Hydronic systems can use a wide variety of energy sources to heat the liquid, including standard gas- or oil-fired boilers, wood-fired boilers, solar water heaters, or a combination of these sources.
Despite its name, radiant floor heating depends heavily on convection, the natural circulation of heat within a room as air warmed by the floor rises. Radiant floor heating systems are significantly different from the radiant panels used in walls and ceilings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are radiant floor heating systems energy-efficient?
Yes. Radiant systems operate at lower temperatures than traditional forced-air heating and deliver heat more evenly, which often reduces energy use and utility costs.
Can radiant floor heating be added to an existing home?
In most cases, yes. Radiant panels can be installed beneath certain flooring types, and hydronic tubing can be integrated during renovations. TRS can assess your home and recommend the best options.
How long does a radiant floor heating installation take?
Installation time varies depending on system type, flooring materials, and project size. Smaller rooms may take a day or two, while whole-home systems require more time.
When should I repair a radiant floor heating system?
If you notice cold spots, inconsistent heating, noisy pumps, or rising energy bills, it’s time to have your system inspected. Early repairs prevent long-term damage.
What floors work best with radiant heating?
Tile, engineered wood, luxury vinyl, and some laminates are excellent conductors of radiant heat. TRS can guide you based on your specific flooring plan.
