Radiant Floor Heating
Hydronic & electric radiant floor systems installed by D's Air & Heating, Inc. — the warmest, most comfortable heat you'll ever feel.
Heat From the Ground Up
Radiant floor heating delivers warmth directly through your floors — no drafts, no noise, no cold spots. Whether you want whole-home hydronic comfort or a warm bathroom floor on a Chicago winter morning, D's Air & Heating, Inc. designs and installs the right system for your home.
Hydronic vs. Electric Radiant
| System | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydronic Radiant | Whole-home heating | Most efficient, silent, extremely comfortable | Requires boiler + manifold system |
| Electric Radiant | Bathrooms, kitchens, small rooms | Easy installation, fast warm-up | Higher operating cost |
Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating
Hydronic radiant heating circulates warm water through PEX tubing embedded in or below your floor. It's the most efficient and comfortable whole-home heating system available — and it pairs perfectly with the high-efficiency condensing boilers D's Air & Heating, Inc. installs.
"Warm floors changed our whole home. We haven't touched the thermostat in weeks."
— Patricia H., Logan Square, Chicago
Electric Radiant Floor Heating
Electric radiant mats provide fast, efficient heating for bathrooms, kitchens, and small spaces. They install under tile or hardwood with minimal disruption and connect to a smart thermostat for scheduled warmth.
"Best upgrade we've ever done. Stepping onto warm floors on a January morning is amazing."
— James K., Wicker Park, Chicago

Why Radiant Floor Heating?
No Drafts, No Noise
Radiant heat rises evenly from the floor — no forced air blowing dust, no blower noise, no cold spots near windows.
Lower Heating Bills
Hydronic radiant systems operate at lower water temperatures than traditional baseboard, reducing gas consumption significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can radiant floor heating be added to an existing home?
Yes — both hydronic and electric radiant systems can be retrofitted into existing Chicago homes. Hydronic retrofit involves running PEX tubing below the subfloor or in a thin concrete overlay. Electric mats install directly under new tile or hardwood with minimal disruption.
What's the difference between hydronic and electric radiant?
Hydronic uses warm water circulated through PEX tubing — it's the most efficient option for whole-home heating but requires a boiler and manifold. Electric uses resistance mats — lower upfront cost, ideal for bathrooms and small rooms, but higher operating cost per BTU.
Does radiant floor heating work under hardwood?
Yes — engineered hardwood and many solid hardwood species are compatible with radiant heat. We'll confirm compatibility with your specific flooring during the estimate.
Is a permit required for radiant floor installation in Chicago?
Yes — hydronic radiant systems require a mechanical permit. Electric radiant systems require an electrical permit. We pull and manage all permits for you.
Can I zone a hydronic radiant system?
Absolutely — zone valves and a manifold allow you to heat individual rooms or floors independently, so you only heat the spaces you're using.
