Are you interested in a new way of keeping your home warm this winter? Radiant heating in your Ankeny, IA, home may just be a great solution. When you use radiant energy to heat your home, you will likely have a hydronic floor system. Here at Metro Heating & Cooling HVAC company in Ankeny, IA, we are the experts in the design, installation, and repair of radiant heating systems in our community.

    We design and install patterns of water-filled tubing below your flooring. The water is heated by a boiler. When you heat your home with radiant energy, the warm air comes up through your flooring. As we know, heat rises, so the toasty air gently and quietly comes up through each room of your home.

    Expert Radiant Heating Installation

    Heating your home with hydronic or other radiant methods has become more cost effective and energy efficient. This is due to improvements in residential radiant heat technology. Loops of hydronic heating tubes can be run on top of the subflooring or embedded in a concrete slab.

    Another radiant installation technique is hydronic loops lying on aluminum strips attached under the flooring. Radiant heat can also be transmitted through electric wire mesh under the flooring. You can even use radiant heat technology to heat an auxiliary room with electric mesh in wall paneling.

    There are some big advantages to heating with radiant energy as opposed to heating with forced-air systems.
    • More consistent heating coverage
    • Lower energy costs
    • Fewer airborne particles, such as dust and allergens
    • Quiet heat production
