I wish that I could tear out the gas furnace plus ductwork in my home.
I would like to replace this bulky equipment with a boiler in the basement plus radiant radiant floors.
There are lots of advantages to radiant flooring. It would eliminate the temperature swings caused by the gas furnace. With my modern system, warm air is supplied into the various rooms by way of vents in the ceiling. Because warm air rises, the highest temperatures tend to be right up by the ceiling, however down near the floor, the air is much cooler. I then raise the setting on the thermostat, make more work for the gas furnace plus pay higher weekly bills. With radiant flooring, warm water travels through pipes concealed beneath the floor. The heat is spread evenly across the floor plus infused rather than blown into the air. There are no drafts plus legitimately minimal stratification. The temperature from floor to ceiling never varies more than several degrees from the thermostat setting. Plus, the system is really hidden. It takes up no living space plus doesn’t require me to arrange the furniture around it. There’s no issues with the system introducing air contaminants such as dust, dander, mold spores or bacteria, plus the comfort is especially gentle plus pleasant. Another advantage of radiant radiant floors is the simplicity of setting up zone control. It would be really helpful to be able to set a odd temperature in each room. I wouldn’t need to pay to heat empty areas to the ideal comfort level. Every family member could adjust the temperature to their preference in their family room.
