Radiant Heat

RADIANT FLOOR HEAT

Radiant heating takes advantage of the entire floor surface area providing warmth and comfort in the home through even, efficient heat distribution.

Here's how it works. As an example, warm water is circulated through Uponor PEX tubing in the floor of your home. The heat radiates upwards through the floor, warming the people, furnishings, and air in the room. The warmth stays down around it rather than being lost in the ceiling. It is a comfortable, even heat, eliminating cold spots and drafts.

Radiant floor heat provides:

• Comfortable even heat, ideal for homes with vaulted ceilings.
• Lower energy bills, up to 40% savings over forced air heat.
• Leakproof PEX tubing system, guaranteed for over 25 years.
• Efficient and affordable heat under all types of floor coverings.
• Clean and healthy living environment, doesn't stir up pollutants and dust.
• Outdoor applications, snow and ice melt systems for driveways and sidewalks.

You can combine radiant floor heat with Unico cooling for a complete heating and cooling solution!

GEOTHERMAL HEAT EXCHANGER

A geothermal heat exchanger can be used with the Unico system as well as radiant heat. The main benefit to the geothermal heat exchanger is the energy savings--the system uses the natural consistency of the ground to act as a condenser and requires very little energy.
