What we design and build.
Each system is drawn for the house. Most projects combine several.
Radiant floors

Choosing
Radiant floors and forced air, side by side.
Neither is better in every room. Most of our houses use both.
| Forced air | Radiant floors | |
|---|---|---|
| How it feels | Forced airWarm air that arrives quickly and mixes the room | Radiant floorsEven heat from the floor, no moving air |
| Response | Forced airQuick to change | Radiant floorsSlow to change, steady once warm |
| Sound | Forced airAir noise to design out | Radiant floorsSilent in the room, pumps in the mechanical room |
| Cooling | Forced airYes, with the right equipment | Radiant floorsNot on its own |
| Ventilation and filtering | Forced airBuilt in, if designed for it | Radiant floorsNone; needs a separate system |
| Best when | Forced airRooms need cooling or fresh air | Radiant floorsThe floor is open and the rooms are tall |
