You're a Do-It-Yourself kind of person; maybe you are trying to save some money by putting your own sweat equity into your home, maybe you're a hobbyist who enjoys working with your hands. But where do you begin when you are considering a radiant heating system? Do you go high mass or low mass? Above the floor or under? Extruded plates, lightweight plates, or no plates? Will the tubing or plates make noise as they expand and contract with changes in water temperature? How much heat do you need, anyway? Will the heat migrate through your carpet in the bedroom? Will it damage your wood flooring? Will it be reliable long-term and easy to maintain? Efficient? What kind of heat source will work with your system?

There is a lot to consider when radiant floor heating is involved. Even the cheapest system is a substantial investment, and looking at only the cheapest systems you don't see what a few extra dollars could really mean for your system's reliability, safety, efficiency and comfort for years to come. You're looking for affordable, practical value, not a cut-rate bargain-basement heating system. Whether you are looking for a simple heated workshop slab, or a full hydronic multi-zone system with the features that make radiant the best heat you'll ever have at an affordable price, we can help put a top-notch radiant system in your hands, literally, from the initial gameplan, through the tubing install and into the mechanical room. And in many cases, for a lot less than you might expect!

Depending on your local codes, the only part of most radiant systems you absolutely must have a licensed professional for is the heat plant installation and hook up; NRT does not sell heat sources to unlicensed installers. We firmly believe that where hydrocarbon fuels and combustion equipment are concerned, a professional installer is required for safety and proper operation. However, with proper guidance, attention to detail, tech support and diagrams the rest of the system can be handled by anyone reasonably handy. If you've got the time and the energy, take a look at how we can help you make your radiant dream a reality!
