Radiant Floor Heating

Slab Construction DiagramThe Gulf Coast is usually more concerned with AC than heating, but utility bills can add up in the winter, too.  A radiant heating system circulates solar-assisted heated water through tubes installed in the slab or under floors to heat the home. 

This type of system is easily installed in new construction and will save money comfortably for the life of the dwelling.   The heating system works in conjuction with a solar hot water installation.

Radiant Heating Tubing during slab constructionUsing the building slab for thermal mass storage evens out temperature swings in the house and creates a warm, cozy ambiance.  Using free solar energy rather than fossil fuel creates another kind of cozy feeling in the budget department. 

For new construction the house's plumber must be closely involved with the design and installation.
