Overview of Radiant Heating Services by RTB Mechanical

RTB Mechanical offers professional radiant heating services designed to provide efficient and comfortable heating solutions for your home. Radiant heating is a system that warms your home from the floor up, delivering heat directly through the floor or walls, making it an effective and energy-efficient choice for home heating.

What is Radiant Heating?

Radiant heating systems work by using electric heating coils or water-heated tubes underneath your flooring to distribute warmth evenly across your living space. Unlike traditional forced-air heating systems, radiant heating provides a more uniform temperature and reduces the amount of dust and allergens circulating in your home. It is especially beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.

Benefits of Radiant Heating

  • Energy Efficiency: Radiant heating systems are more energy-efficient compared to conventional heating systems because they directly heat the occupants and objects in a room without significant heat loss.
  • Improved Comfort: This type of heating offers a uniform temperature distribution and eliminates cold spots in your home, ensuring optimal comfort.
  • Quiet Operation: Since radiant heating systems do not have noisy blowers or fans, they operate silently, adding to the tranquility of your home environment.
  • Health Benefits: Reduced circulation of dust and allergens results in a healthier living space, which is crucial for people with asthma or other respiratory issues.
  • Space Saving: Radiant heating systems are installed under the floor, freeing up wall and floor space that would otherwise be occupied by traditional heating units.

Types of Radiant Heating Systems

RTB Mechanical specializes in two main types of radiant heating systems:

  1. Hydronic Radiant Heating: This system uses hot water circulated through tubes installed under the floor. It is highly energy-efficient and suitable for larger areas.
  2. Electric Radiant Heating: This system uses electric heating cables installed under the floor. It is easier and quicker to install, making it suitable for smaller areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.

  • What is radiant heating, and how does it work?

    Radiant heating systems provide warmth directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house. The system works by circulating warm water through tubing laid under the floor or using electric heating cables in the floor. This heat then radiates upward, warming the room efficiently and evenly.

  • What are the benefits of radiant heating?

    Radiant heating offers several advantages over traditional heating systems, including even heat distribution, improved comfort, energy efficiency, and the elimination of ducts, which can harbor dust and allergens. Additionally, radiant heating systems operate silently, making them a great choice for maintaining a peaceful home.

  • Is radiant heating energy efficient?

    Yes, radiant heating systems are highly energy-efficient due to the nature of how they operate. They deliver heat directly to the living space, reducing energy losses associated with forced air systems. Moreover, the consistent and even heat distribution allows for lower overall thermostat settings, which can translate to lower heating bills.

  • Can radiant heating be installed in an existing home?

    Absolutely! Radiant heating can be retrofitted into existing homes without significant disruption. Though the process might require some modifications to the floors, our skilled technicians at RTB Mechanical can assess your home and provide a tailored installation plan that meets your needs and minimizes inconvenience.
