Radiant Floor Heating Installation
For Comfortable, Quiet Warmth
Looking for a heating solution that feels as good as it performs? Radiant floor heating offers consistent, energy-efficient warmth that starts from the ground up. It’s quiet, clean, and ideal for everything from new homes to renovated spaces, like workshops or basements.
At Earl Weaver Contractors, we install both hydronic and electric radiant heat systems for homeowners across Central Pennsylvania. Whether you’re building from the ground up or adding comfort to an existing space, we’ll help you design a system that’s reliable, long-lasting, and perfectly suited to your home.
Why Choose Radiant Floor Heating?
Radiant heat systems use the floor itself to warm your space. Instead of blowing air around, they provide gentle, even warmth through either heated water lines or electric cables beneath the flooring surface.
Benefits of radiant heating include:
- Even Heating: No cold spots since the heat rises evenly from the floor up.
- Quiet Operation: No noisy blowers or ductwork.
- Improved Air Quality: No forced air means fewer allergens and less dust circulating in your home.
- Energy Efficiency: Radiant systems often use less energy than traditional forced-air systems.
- Comfort Underfoot: Especially great in tile, concrete, or hardwood-floor spaces that tend to feel cold in winter.
Types of Radiant Heating Systems We Install
Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating
Hydronic systems use heated water flowing through PEX tubing installed beneath the floor. These systems are typically powered by a boiler and are best for heating large areas or whole homes. They’re extremely efficient and cost-effective to operate long-term.
Best for:
- New home construction
- Whole-house radiant heating
- Garages, basements, or additions with concrete floors
Electric Radiant Floor Heating
Electric systems use wires or heating mats installed under the floor surface. They heat up quickly and are ideal for small areas or single rooms like bathrooms or kitchens.
Best for:
- Bathrooms and kitchens
- Retrofits and remodels
- Spaces where full hydronic systems aren’t practical
Earl Weaver Contractors was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Their salesman Josh thoroughly explained the product, answered questions, was polite and knowledgeable. His quote was competitive, and they outperformed the preliminary schedule. The workmen were very polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. They finished ahead of schedule, cleaned up, and did great work. I highly recommend this company; it was one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had with a contractor. Thanks for everything.
