Radiant floor heating runs warm water through tubing under the floor. Here is what Chandler homeowners should know about the plumbing side.
How it works
PEX tubing is embedded in or under the floor, and warm water circulates through it, radiating heat evenly upward. It is quiet, comfortable, and efficient.
The two systems
Hydronic systems use a boiler or water heater; electric systems use heating cables. Hydronic is the plumbing-intensive option and the most common for whole rooms.
The plumbing needs
The tubing, manifold, pump, and mixing valve must be sized and balanced correctly so each zone heats evenly.
