Radiant Heating

Steven M asked:


Hello: I am looking at buying a home with hydronic radiant heat in the floors. It was built in the 1950’s. I was wondering if adding a programmable thermostat to cut back the temperature before retiring would save some $$$. I realize that these types of heating systems heat up or cool down fast.

Thanks, in advance, for any and all replies.

Cheers,
Steve/OHIO

I’m redoing my kitchen from the floor up. I will have a 3/4″ sub floor, then hot water tubes running through aluminum channels. This leaves a surface that is very flat, with just small unevenness at each tube. Is it enough to lay 1/4″ plywood over that, then the vinyl flooring? Or does there need to be a thicker plywood layer at that point?

I’m planning on putting a hydronic radiant heat system in my 2400 sq ft house. 1200 on the top floor. 1200 in the basement. The top floor would be floor heated and the basement would be wall heated. I’m looking for a company that will use a house blueprint of mine to design and build a system that I can then install. Any ideas?
