How does radiant floor heating work?
Warm water from a boiler circulates through PEX loops under the floor, heating the slab or subfloor so warmth radiates evenly upward. No blowing air, no cold corners, and room-by-room zone control.
What does radiant floor heating cost to install?
Industry estimates run $6-$20 per square foot: new-construction slab installs sit at the low end, retrofits under existing floors at the high end. Basement slabs during finishing are the sweet spot.

How does hydronic radiant floor heat work?
A boiler warms water to modest temperatures and circulates it through PEX loops under the floor; the slab or subfloor becomes a large, gentle radiator. Heat rises evenly from below, so rooms feel warm at lower thermostat settings, and each zone runs on its own loop and thermostat.
New construction or retrofit: where does radiant fit?
New builds and basement finishes are ideal, loops staple over insulation before concrete or under new subfloor at the lowest cost per foot. Retrofits work room-by-room during remodels (bathrooms are the classic), using low-profile panels or joist-bay installs. Whole-home retrofits are possible but priced like the construction project they are; we quote honestly either way.
What does radiant cost to run in Utah?
Hydronic radiant pairs low water temperatures with condensing-boiler efficiency, so operating cost typically lands below equivalent forced-air electric resistance and competes well with gas furnaces, while delivering warm floors through January. It needs a healthy boiler: see boiler installation and the boiler hub, or pair it with a basement finish.
