Radiant Heating Info

How radiant heating works

It uses hot water or steam instead of air and takes advantage of water's superior conductive properties to heat more efficiently by heating the objects in it-not the air.

Floor or ceiling heat

It largely depends on the delivery of heat directly from a hot surface to the people and objects in the room via radiation of heat. It's the same effect you feel when holding a mug of coffee in your hands.

Radiant floor heat

Radiant floor heating circulates warm water through flexible tubing installed underneath your floor.

Radiant ceiling heat

Perfect for heating upper floors, remodeling projects or additions because the tubing and heat emission plates are attached to ceiling joists or sheetrock.

Radiant heat delivers

More comfort than forced air systems

In a forced air system, heated air is carried through ducts into rooms where warm air rises and cold air sinks so it’s always coldest near the floor.

Why it's an issue

Our body temperature is warmest at our head while circulation is poorest at our feet. That’s why we’re most comfortable in a room that’s slightly cooler at head level.

Why radiant heat is better

With radiant or hydronic heat, it's warmer closer to the floor because that’s where heat is needed more.

Comfort & savings

Since radiant heat systems keep you more comfortable at a lower temperature, you save money on your heating.

Our clients say it best...

“Carlson has maintained my system for over 10 years now. They're always professional and extremely knowledgeable. They advise appropriate service repairs and their work is solid.”

Jesse A.Seattle

“We've had on-going, very distressing issues with our heating/hot-water system for over 6 years and have been through 3 companies trying to get it figured out, always with the same results - lots of expensive bills but no real fix - until we found Carlson.

Long story short, they solved the problem that no one else could, and we now have a reliable and efficient heating system again. Btw, their Techs are fabulous as well - clearly very well trained and highly skilled, and a pleasure to work with.”

Steve G.Seattle

“Great experience with Carlson Mechanical. Arik was really helpful in answering questions and providing info on my heating system. When you go to a company like this you can rest assured knowing you're going to have a technician who really knows what they're doing.”
