Comfort: At Hickory Ridge Radiant our number one priority
is providing you with comfort. The number one reason to choose
radiant heat is comfort. Radiant heat virtually eliminates drafts,
stops the noise of heating systems, cuts down on dust and airborne
bacteria, and frees up your wall and floor space to use in any way
you want. By eliminating the floor registers or baseboard heaters
that cause drafts, radiant heat improves your comfort. Favorite
areas of radiant heat include bathroom floors and tub enclosures.
This keeps you warm from the time you step in until you step out of
your daily shower or bath. Kitchen floor heating allows you to work
in stocking or barefoot comfort, reducing fatigue from cold floors
that draw the heat from you. |
Radiant heat is the only type of system we know of that so
closely matches the system of heating to the ways our bodies feel
and give off heat. It is simply the most comfortable type of
heat. |
The key ingredient to any radiant system's
successful comfort level and energy savings is control of the
delivery of temperature to the heating liquid. There are almost as
many ways to control the temperature as there are methods of tube
installation. As with the tube installation, there are trade offs
in price and performance. A top-of-the-line radiant system should
have a control that will change the temperature of the heating
liquid based on the temperature of the air outside. There is still
energy savings in a fixed temperature radiant system over a forced
air or baseboard heating system but the comfort level and energy
savings is being sacrificed. Controls can incorporate individual
room sensors, floor temperature sensors, priority zones, and room
feedback.
