The installation of radiant floor systems can seem a bit intimidating to many of our customers. To dispel some of the mystery, we thought we’d give a little insight into what a radiant floor installation looks like.
We completed this radiant floor installation in August for a new build home in Golden, Colorado. The homeowners decided to use radiant heat for both heating and cooling, which means that geothermal energy will be channeled through radiant floors for heat and through a forced air system for both cooling and backup heating.
Pictures of Radiant Floor Installation
These pictures show what a radiant floor installation looks like. In this closed loop system, we laid high density polyethylene pipe horizontally 4 to 6 feet under the ground.
When the system is up and running, these pipes will carry an environmentally friendly antifreeze/water solution that acts as a heat exchanger. 
In the winter, the fluid in the pipes will extract heat from the earth and carry it into the home. In the summer, the system will reverse and take heat from the home and channel it to the cooler ground.
The upside? The homeowners can expect this system to use 25% to 50% less electricity than a traditional heating and cooling system.
