Nothing beats the comfort of a radiant heating system - ask anyone who’s ever enjoyed the many benefits of radiant heat, there’s just nothing else that compares. And it is possible for the average homeowner to install their own radiant floor system. It’s easier when you’re dealing with new construction, but existing homes can usually be retrofitted with a radiant floor heating system.
So how does one figure out what’s really important when it comes to a new radiant heating system?
Over the years, I’ve arrived at the following list of priorities:
1) Information - it’s important to get a hold of all the information you’ll need to make an informed decision.
2) Design - save yourself a lot of future headaches, have a radiant heat expert help you with your system design and tubing layout.
3) Quality Components - there’s nothing wrong with finding a good deal, but in a lot of cases you DO get what you pay for.
4) Support - If you’ve never installed your own radiant heating system before, you’ll need help - find a supplier who will be there for you when you need it most.
