How Radiant Heating Works
Unlike forced-air systems that blow heated air through ducts, radiant heating systems warm every inch of your home through the flooring.
There are two main types of radiant heating:
- Heat travels through electric elements (electric radiant heat)
- Heat travels through hot water tubes (hydronic radiant floor heat)
The components go under your flooring material and send, or "radiate," heat upwards. This creates an even, comfortable temperature throughout the space. When installed throughout your home, radiant floor systems keep your entire property safe and comfortable during cold weather.
Why Choose Radiant Floor Heating?
With radiant floor heating, you can easily improve your daily comfort. Heated floor systems offer unique advantages over traditional heating solutions. Your floors become a source of subtle, even warmth that eliminates cold spots and creates the perfect indoor environment.
Additionally, because these systems offer great heat distribution, they can lower energy costs. You won't have to constantly adjust the thermostat to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature.
The Benefits of Radiant Heat
- Energy Efficiency That Saves Money Radiant heating systems operate with remarkable efficiency. Since heat transfers naturally from the floor, these systems typically use less energy than forced-air systems. Radiant heat also maintains the set temperature without heated air escaping the home or collecting near the ceiling. Many homeowners see big savings on their energy bills after switching to radiant heat.
- Superior Comfort Say goodbye to uncomfortable temperature variations throughout your home. Radiant floor heating provides consistent warmth from room to room, eliminating the cold spots common with traditional heating systems. The gentle heat radiates upwards, creating a cozy atmosphere from floor to ceiling.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality Unlike forced-air heating systems that can circulate dust and allergens, radiant heating doesn't rely on moving air to heat your home. This means fewer airborne contaminants and better air quality.
- Quiet Operation Enjoy the peace of quiet comfort. Radiant heating systems work silently, without the noise of fans or air rushing through ducts. You'll experience warmth without the sounds of a furnace cycling on and off throughout the day.
- Design Freedom Radiant floor heat frees up your wall space since you won't need radiators, vents, or a large HVAC unit. This lets you play with furniture placement and room design without worry.
- Durability & Low MaintenanceWhen properly installed, heated floor systems offer great longevity with low maintenance requirements. The components are beneath your flooring, protecting against wear and potential damage. With professional installation and occasional maintenance from Dutch Enterprises, your radiant heating system can provide reliable warmth for decades.

The Cost of Installing Radiant Heating
Radiant heating costs depend on several key factors. Size matters most— larger spaces need more heating elements or tubing, which affects the total price.
Your choice between an electric or water-based system also influences cost. Each type requires different materials and installation methods.
Home construction plays a role, too. Installing radiant heating during new construction is typically more economical than adding it to an existing home. For existing properties, we consider your current flooring, the condition of your subfloor, and necessary preparations. Some floors might need reinforcement to support the new system.
While radiant heating costs more upfront than traditional heating systems, many homeowners see long-term savings. Your energy costs will depend on your home's insulation, local climate, and how you use your new system.
