Radiant floor heating in West Yellowstone, MT is a popular trend in home improvement. You can opt for radiant floor panels in certain rooms, such as your bathrooms. Our plumbing and heating company at PJ's Plumbing & Heating can also install a radiant heater with panels throughout your entire home. One of the great advantages of floor heating is that it naturally flows up through the room. That provides a heating consistency not available with other radiators and forced-air systems.
"These guys are amazing! They were so professional great the schedule with. When they arrived they were able to replace my water heater in under an hour. I highly recommend them."
A common question is whether you need a boiler for radiant floor heating in West Yellowstone. The answer is no, because there are electric floor panels. A common downside to electric heating is the cost of electricity. This means it’s usually not cost-effective to heat an entire home this way. If you just want to add it to certain rooms, it’s often perfect. It also pairs nicely with non-boiler heating systems as well, such as furnaces and heat pumps.
Another common homeowner question is whether a hot water or steam boiler is better. For new installations, we typically recommend hot water boilers. They’re more efficient and consistent, and hydronic floor panels integrate with them seamlessly.
If you already have a steam boiler, we’ll usually recommend sticking with what you have. The conversion generally isn’t worth it. An exception would be if you have an old system in poor condition that requires a major renovation.
Does a steam boiler provide steam through the floor panels? No, the panels require hot water. A common solution is to add a heat exchanger. It will use the steam from the boiler to heat the hot water in the panels.
With whole-home radiant heating, zoning is a worthwhile consideration as well. This system will let you adjust the floor heating independently in rooms or zones. At night, for instance, you could have the heat on in the bedrooms and bathrooms but off everywhere else. That approach can save you a considerable amount of money over the life of the system.
There are many benefits to a floor-based radiant heater:
Quiet operation
High energy efficiency
Long equipment lifespan
No indoor air quality impact
Floor-to-ceiling heating flow
