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:
- 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.
- 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.
