A radiant heater in your home can save you money over a traditional forced air or baseboard heating system, and it can be remarkably effective.

Although it takes about a day or so for radiant floor heating to reach its full capacity, it can easily maintain that heat once the appropriate temperature has been reached.

You stand to save a lot of money on your energy bills for heating due to the system’s efficiency. Read on to learn more about how radiant heating works so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Radiant Floor Heating Systems

A radiant heater works by pumping hot air underneath your floors. The heat from the water in the pipes warms your flooring material, and that heat can extend into the air throughout your home.

Unlike with forced air or baseboard heating systems, you won’t have any hot or cold spots, as the heat is distributed evenly across the floor, rather than coming from centralized locations.

While it is true that installing a radiant heater can be expensive due to the need to rip up your existing floors, you’ll more than makeup for it in long-term savings. Radiant heat can cost as little as a dollar per day, depending on the size and scope of your system.

Not only that but these systems generally last 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance, so you’ll save money over replacing furnaces as well.

The installation process is not particularly complex, though it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Your technicians will first need to remove the existing flooring materials. Then, they can lay down the pipes that will carry the hot water to warm your floors.

The final step is to restore your flooring so that you can regain the use of your home. Once installed, radiant systems don’t require much maintenance, though regular tune-ups can help to keep everything working properly.

Hey there this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Your water heater works hard all year, but it’s especially important during the winter. Let’s go over a few simple steps to make sure it’s ready to keep up when temperatures drop. First, it’s a good idea to flush your water heater once a year. If you skip this step, sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and even cause your water heater to fail right when you need it most—in the middle of winter. Next, check the temperature. Most water heaters are set to 140°F, by lowering your water heater to 120°F you can save you up to 10% on your water heating costs. Plus, lowering the temperature to 120°F not only saves energy, but it also makes your home safer, especially if you have kids or elderly family members who are more prone to burns. Lastly, If your water heater is in a cold space like a basement or garage, consider adding a water heater blanket. This will help insulate the tank and prevent heat loss, making it work less hard to heat the water. A little maintenance now means no cold showers later.

Hey, homeowners, this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Winter is coming, and frozen pipes can turn into a nightmare if you're not prepared. Let’s talk about five easy steps to winterize your plumbing and avoid costly repairs. First, drain and disconnect your garden hoses. You might think leaving them attached isn’t a big deal, but trapped water can freeze, expand, and burst your pipes. A burst pipe isn’t just a mess, it can cost you thousands in repairs, not to mention the headache of water damage. Next, let’s talk about outdoor faucets. Grab some faucet covers—super cheap and easy to install—to keep the cold out. If your house is older, you may need to shut off and drain the pipes leading to those faucets, too. Third tip: check your home for any exposed pipes. If you find any in places like your basement, garage, or crawl spaces, wrap them up with insulation. Pipe insulation sleeves are your best friend here. Another tip, keep an eye on your indoor temperature. If you're leaving for the holidays, don’t set your thermostat lower than 55 degrees. It might seem like a way to save money, but frozen pipes cost way more. Finally, run your faucets a little during super cold nights—just a small trickle of water. It helps relieve pressure in the pipes and can stop them from freezing. A little drip of water might seem wasteful, but it’s a lot cheaper than fixing a frozen pipe. These five tips might only take you an hour, but they could save you from a winter plumbing disaster.
