Why radiant suits Northern Nevada

Dry, cold winters and tile or concrete floors make forced air feel drafty. Radiant floors warm the surfaces you touch, so rooms feel comfortable at lower thermostat settings.

New construction or retrofit

Radiant is easiest in new slabs, but we also install in remodels using low-profile panels or under-floor tubing in joist bays.

Where radiant floor heat works best

  • Custom homes and additions
  • Bathroom and kitchen remodels
  • Garages and workshops
  • Basements and concrete slabs
  • Commercial lobbies and warehouses

Radiant Floor Heat FAQs

Is radiant floor heating expensive to run?

Radiant systems run at lower water temperatures than baseboard and pair well with high-efficiency condensing boilers, which keeps operating costs competitive.

Can radiant heating go under hardwood or carpet?

Yes, with proper design. Tile and concrete transfer heat best, but engineered hardwood and low-pile carpet work well.

Can I add radiant heat to an existing home?

Often, yes, especially in remodels, over crawlspaces or in rooms getting new flooring.
