I honestly plan to redo the floors in our dwelling and when that happens, I am getting radiant heating for certain. My hubby enjoys the whole idea of all the flooring in our dwelling being the same! He wants the living room, dining room, hallway and home offices all to be the same porcelain, grey tile. Honestly, I am not too keen on this idea, although he wants it and is willing to pay for it. I did a small amount of reading online and tile is certainly the best type of flooring for radiant heating. Carpet traps the heat and makes it not nearly as effective, however wood flooring is definitely better, but not enjoyable for this style of heating appliance… The only way to get radiant heating is basically to rip up the new flooring and substitute it with everything brand new. We are already doing that! It feels sort of like fate is telling me I need this heating appliance. Since my hubby is footing the tile bill, I am certainly willing to do the heating upgrade bill. I did some searching online and I can buy the electric heated mats at our local hardware store rather than an HVAC dealer. I also don’t need to hire an HVAC professional to handle the upgrade either… Apparently if you chose to do hydronic heating, which requires piping and a boiler, you need an HVAC appliance worker. Electric radiant flooring is merely placing mats down on the board before the tile is laid. I watched a couple of youtube videos and it looks totally straight forward. My hubby told me all that task is on me. If both of us tile over the mats and they don’t end up working, that will be my fault. So no pressure or anything right?
