🔥 $199 Boiler Tune-Up • ⚡️ $89 Water Heater Flush
Imagine stepping out of bed on a chilly Salt Lake City morning and being greeted by warm floors. That’s the magic of radiant floor heating—and it’s more common (and affordable) than you might think.
At Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics LLC, we’ve installed radiant heat systems in everything from cozy cabins in Park City to modern homes in Draper. If you’re wondering whether it’s a good fit for your home, here’s everything you need to know.
What Is Radiant Floor Heating?
Radiant heating warms your home from the ground up using a system of tubes (hydronic) or electric coils beneath your floors. Instead of heating the air like traditional forced-air systems, radiant heating delivers heat directly to your floor and the objects in the room.
The result? Silent, even, and incredibly comfortable heat.
✅ Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating
1. Even, Consistent Heat
No more cold spots or blasts of hot air—radiant heat rises naturally and evenly.
2. Energy Efficient
Hydronic radiant systems use heated water, which is more energy-efficient than constantly running a furnace. You’ll feel warmer at lower thermostat settings.
3. Silent Operation
No more humming furnaces or clanging radiators. Radiant systems are completely silent.
4. Allergy Friendly
No ducts = no blowing dust, pollen, or pet dander around your home.
5. Compatible with Most Flooring
Radiant systems work great with tile, laminate, engineered wood, and even carpet with proper planning.
🚫 Things to Consider
1. Installation Cost
Radiant heat systems typically cost more to install upfront—especially if retrofitted into an existing home. But energy savings often offset the investment over time.
2. Flooring Type Matters
Some flooring materials (like thick hardwood or dense rugs) can reduce heating efficiency. We’ll help you pick what works best.
3. Slower to Adjust
Radiant heating systems heat slowly compared to forced air. It’s best for steady, consistent heating rather than frequent temperature changes.
Is It Worth It for Utah Winters?
Absolutely. Utah winters are cold and dry, and radiant heat offers a cozy, energy-efficient solution—especially for:
- Basement remodels
- Master bathrooms
- Whole-home new builds
- Garage conversions
Even if you don’t go full-home, radiant zones in high-traffic or tile-floored areas can completely change your comfort level.
