Floor Heating
As noted on the previous page, we often install floor warming systems to improve the comfort level within our client’s homes. We also design residential heating systems where the primary heating of the house is supplied through the floors. This design approach is referred to as floor heating and is not to be confused with floor warming. Floor warming systems offer additional comfort and provide a secondary source of heat within the home. Those systems are meant to work in conjunction with an HVAC system of ductwork.
By contrast, a floor heating system is designed to fully meet the heating requirements of the residence and will function as the primary heating system.
Homes that use a floor heating system may still have an air distribution system of ductwork but the primary heating source will be the floors. A cooling system, exhaust venting and code requirements for air exchange must still be included in the HVAC design.
