Why Underfloor (Radiant) Heating?


Although we live in the High Sierra offering excellent warm sunny days year round, it comes as a surprise to many that it actually can get quite chilly in the winter months.

Many homes in San Miguel do not factor this in, & people find it a bit of a shock... not in this house, we have underfloor heating in both stories, thermostatically controlled ensuring nice cosy living even in December...

The heating is provided by way of a closed loop under floor water system heated by gas, & because it sits under the surface of the cement floors, it reaches pre-set heat & requires much less energy to maintain that heat...the cement floors retain the heat & all the living areas (even the bathroom) are warm from the ground up!
