It’s usually true that the best things in life seem to be the most expensive. While I’d agree that is generally the case, I have recently found an exception to this rule. Heated floors, which have always been a luxury, are not only affordable, but can save you a lot of money on heating costs as well.  SunTouch^® floor heating solutions gives you the luxury you’ve only dreamed of, at a price you can actually live with – comfortably I might add!

SunTouch floor heating systems will allow you to turn down your thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40% and can be verified with your local utility company. This setback to your thermostat can happen because a radiant floor heats from the ground up and delivers the heat through objects not air. This makes the lowest three feet of your home the most comfortable where a forced air system loses its heat to the ceiling and is required to heat from the top down. Delivering heat by air also makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss.

A good analogy for radiant floor heating to forced air is a car that has heated seats and a forced air heater/furnace. The forced air in a car can dry you out and can become uncomfortable and is difficult to dial in because of the heat loss due to its air delivery. A heated seat will provide you with quick results and will remain warm long after it is reduced or turned completely off. The heated seat actually warms your body and the car seat, not the air. Forced air will over time will inefficiently heat objects but with the negative side effects of dry air, dust and pollen.

If you’ve been dreaming of the comfort of heated floors, but didn’t think you could actually afford it, you should checkout SunTouch.  They have heating systems for any application, no matter what size your budget is.
