In floor radiant heating systems operate by conduction, convection, and radiation, not only warming the air in the room but also transferring heat directly to people in contact with the floor. These heating systems also store heat in the subfloor, and that heat is gradually released over the course of the day. In this way, they're much like concrete and asphalt sidewalks that absorb heat while the sun is out and stay warm for hours after sunset.

As a result, there are many ways in floor radiant heating systems can save you money. As heat is generated from the floor and then rises, most of the heat is concentrated lower in the room, so you don't need to raise the temperature as high. In addition, you can take advantage of off-peak rates if your energy company offers different prices at different times of day by heating your floor during these hours and letting the heat gradually flow into the room the rest of the time.

At one point, hydronic radiant heat systems were the most popular form of radiant heat, yet they were difficult to install in existing homes. Electric in-floor radiant heating systems are continuing to gain in popularity because they're easy to install and affordable. You can install them in areas as small as a narrow entryway or use them to cover the majority of your home.
