A: This is not widely known but radiant heat rising from
the floor is very efficient. People often do not realize that heat energy
(like from the Sun) travels equally well in all directions: up, down, and
sideways. It is the heated air - not heat energy - that naturally moves upward
because it is less dense than cooler room air.
In addition to being energy efficient, the comfort from a radiant heating
system cannot be beat. It warms the room without overheating and drying out the
air. With radiant heated floors, not much blocks the direct heat path to
your body.
These systems are particularly popular with people who have allergies. With
very little air movement, as compared to a typical ducted forced-air heating
system, there is less airborne dust and animal dander, as well as fewer mold
