Radiant Heat

Radiant floor heat vs baseboard heat?

I am building new home and thinking of installing radiant heat. I am only interested in putting it on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the house. Also, the type of boiler I am looking at is the “on-demand” hotwater. What are the pros and cons of radiant heat. I am not using electric as it is way too expensive here in Alaska.

In the colder climates (esp Alaska and New England), baseboard heat is the most economical way to go in terms of both fuel costs and installation costs.

The point of baseboard heaters are to place a blanket of heat in front of each window in order to help insulate each window. If you have ever walked into a big-box store, you will recall the blast of heat they throw at you as you enter. The same principle applies inside your home.

Radiant heat is great for a nice even temperature throughout your home, but will make you cringe every time your heat bill arrives.

If money is no object (and global warming is not on your mind), radiant heat is wonderful, otherwise I highly recommend baseboard heating above both radiant and central air/heat.

Congrats on your new home!
