What Is Radiant Heating?

Radiant heating systems use hot water that travels through a pipeline underneath the flooring to heat homes. In Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area, radiant floor heating systems were first installed in Eichler homes. Radiant floors using water-filled piping within the concrete slab were ideal for the open plan, non-visible, modern look of Eichler homes. These were the early pioneering days of radiant floor heating.

Today’s radiant floor heating systems are well-made, accurately engineered, and very reliable.

  • Radiant floor heating is now common in:

When to Repair or Replace Your Radiant Boiler System

Radiant heating systems are a reliable and effective way to warm your home, but like any other heating system, they will require service from time to time. As a savvy homeowner, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the signs that it’s time to call for repair or consider a full hydronic system replacement.

Here’s what to watch out for:

  • You notice damage to your floor. Does your flooring smell funny? Do you have discolored or damp carpeting? Is your flooring lifting and/or squeaking when you walk on it? This may point to a leak in your radiant heating system’s pipes.
  • System isn’t heating or is heating unevenly. This issue could stem from a number of causes, including a thermostat malfunction, wiring issues, improper spacing of cables or pipes, a lack of adequate insulation, or a damaged heating cable.
  • Your energy bills have increased. An increase in your gas or electricity bill could be an indication that your pipes are leaking and making your system work harder.
