[Nome-announce] Radiant floor heat question

[Melissa K. Ford]

I am looking for information regarding who has radiant floor heat and who
has installed it in Nome. I would also be interested in hearing about any
concerns or problems that you might have experienced.  I have a seller who
is doing a remodel and I would like to have as much information as I can get
on this type of heating.

 

Radiant floor heat seems to be a great choice because:

*	Radiant heat makes floors toasty and warm, which makes you feel
cozier in the space. It eliminates drafty floors and provides consistent
heat throughout a room.
*	There's no need for air ducts, which can circulate mold and dust
throughout a house. For anyone suffering from allergies, this is an
important consideration.
*	For ultra efficiency, renewable energy sources, such as geothermal
and solar, are compatible for fueling a radiant heating and cooling system.
*	Radiant heating is quiet. Unlike other systems, there are no
clanging radiator pipes or air rumbling through ductwork.
*	With other types of heating, the hot air rises quickly up toward the
ceiling, warming the parts of a room where people rarely go. With radiant
heat, the warmth stays lower in the room, closer to where you are.
*	Radiant heating doesn't interfere with furniture layouts or the
choice of window treatments in a room the way that radiators, baseboard
heating elements, and air vents do. You don't want to hang long curtains
over an electric baseboard heater, place a sofa against a radiator or over
an air vent, or have a chair right in front of a through-the-wall air
conditioner. With radiant heating and cooling, there is nothing visible in
the room; it's all buried in the floor.
*	The energy efficiency of radiant heating and cooling can save 20
percent or more on fuel bills, because the water being circulated through
the pipes doesn't need to be heated to as high a temperature as a
traditional radiator or boiler system

Please let me know the age of your system and the installer, and your
satisfaction with it.
