Residential
Because of its flexibility, radiant is often less expensive in a standard home. It is almost
always less expensive in complicated custom homes. Small additions, spa's, and snowmelt systems
can often be operated off standard hot water tanks at very little extra cost. In all cases the
energy savings will offset the extra cost if there is any.
There are many successful ways to install radiant on and under wood floors. Couple that with
heating the ceramic tile in the bathroom, heating the towel warmer, doing the tile in the kitchen,
foyer, and doing the basement slab so the kids can play down there and it doesn't always feel like
a "basement".
Snow Melting
Radiant panel systems make ideal snow and ice melting systems.
You can do away with shoveling and spreading salt (which has a very destructive effect on concrete)
on sidewalks, driveways, loading docks, helicopter pads, and any other area that needs to be kept
clear in the winter (All those areas the snowplow can’t get to). And it can be completely automated.
Agriculture
Radiant tubing laid in the soil bed of greenhouses and other special
areas will warm the soil and extend growing seasons. This is perfect for getting seedlings started
early in the spring and allowing growing year round in colder climates.
