There are three main options for in floor heating systems: air based systems, water based systems, and electric systems. Air based radiant heating systems may use solar power to heat the air or be powered by a furnace, making them the least efficient of the three systems for residential buildings. While water based systems are an efficient means of heating your home, extensive construction is necessary to install the network of pipes beneath the floor.

Electric radiant heating systems are the most versatile floor heating system. They're ideal for individual rooms or additions that aren't currently connected to your main heating system. You can also use them to heat your entire home because these systems work with any type of flooring material, from stone and tile to carpeting.

Another advantage of in floor heating systems is that they can also use sensors to activate the heat. If you don't have a regular schedule, it can be difficult to program a thermostat to turn on your in floor heating system. With an installed sensor, the electric radiant heating system will be activated when you need it, and it operates fast enough to heat your feet quickly.
