If you don’t know this already, you’re missing out. The extraordinary comfort offered through in-floor radiant floor warming mats is incomparable. Combined with the proper cooling system, a radiant floor warming mat can offer the most efficient and comfortable living conditions available in any climate.

Additionally, with proper system design and components, no other heating system is as efficient as the floor warming mat system. Radiant floor warming combined with a high efficiency heat source will cost less to heat your home than any other type of heating system. A radiant floor warming mat combined with the proper fuel, a high efficiency heat source and good building practices will give you dramatic fuel savings and a greater level of comfort over any other system. Your radiant system could use 30% less fuel than the average new forced air heating system. Installing a high efficiency air conditioning system will result in dramatic energy savings year-round.

Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source, which is why many radiant floor warming mat systems are generally placed under floors.

It used to be that radiant floor warming mats were, once upon a time, supplied as one long continuous length of cable with the consumer having to weave the cable up and down the floor at a pre-determined spacing and making a return loop to complete the circuit.

However, recent and improved designs in radiant floor warming mat cables have a built-in return meaning that you only have one end to connect instead of having to close the circuit by bringing each end of the cable back to the thermostat. Far from complicated to install, radiant floor warming mats have taken the hard work out of the install by having the radiant heating cable already pre-spaced on to a nylon mesh and all you have to do is simply start at your thermostat location and roll it out over the floor until it’s all used up.

You might think that a floor warming mat is difficult and time-consuming to install, and has the risk of uneven heating spacing – but times have changed since those early days of the radiant heat technology. Let’s get you up-to-date on how many improvements have been made to radiant floor warming systems, contributing to it fast becoming a popular choice for energy-efficient and cost-efficient home heating.

Floor warming is one of the most comfortable ways to heat your home.  As opposed to forced air heating, which heats the air, radiant heat heats objects such as your floor.  This increases the level of comfortability in your home because the heat is distributed at the floor level where we are usually cold, and gets cooler toward our head area, which is usually too hot.  Because radiant floor heating distributes the heat in this manner, the comfortability of your home is increased. No more cold feet!

Another benefit of floor warming is that it can be used for nearly any floor area.  Areas such as concrete, tile, hardwood, carpet, and even linoleum can all benefit from radiant floor heating.  Even if you live in an existing home, floor warming products can usually be retrofitted, in most cases, to your existing floors.

When you first started thinking about becoming a homeowner, did you ever think that you’d meet such a confusing muddle of options for heating?  It’s true that heating systems for homes and businesses are faced with an increasing number of options to consider for their primary and secondary heating. While fire places and coal burning stoves become less popular, other alternative heating methods are quickly becoming more common.

Traditional furnaces as a primary heating system are now being challenged from radiant baseboards, radiant floor heating systems and even radiant ceiling heaters. Many of these new heating systems are using electricity instead of natural gas or heating oil. SunTouch ^®, for example, provides affordable heating solutions which add comfort, and save money as well. Not only do SunTouch heating systems cut down on heating costs, but they are also more efficient and eco-friendly as well. These heating systems are quickly replacing traditional furnaces.This is not surprising given the fact that they are not only more efficient, but provide a more comfortable environment as well.

Here’s a key difference:  SunTouch heating systems, as opposed to warm air systems (such as a forced air unit heaters), deliver the source of heat to the floor level, not the ceiling. As a result, you get heat evenly distributed where you need it most, rather than having heat accumulate at the ceiling level.
