Radiant Heating System LONG ISLAND
If you’re living in Long Island, you must be aware of the long cold spells of the winter months. The temperature goes below freezing point, making it difficult to go about your daily activities. Many of those who don’t want to sacrifice their comfort and survive the blistering cold have opted for a radiant heating system to be installed in their homes.
Like one of these residents, you might also want to consider installing a radiant heating system that fits your needs and helps you acclimate to the winter months better.
At All Island Radiant, we provide you with multiple radiant heating system designs in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Our 75 years of experience comes in handy when helping you choose from these designs so that you receive optimal heating throughout your house without burdening your energy bill.

Radiant Heating System Designs in Nassau and Suffolk Counties
These days, there are many radiant heating system designs available to you that act as a better alternative to traditional heating systems that use hot air. Instead of blowing hot air through a network of ducts, radiant heating systems rely on infrared energy dissipated into your rooms. As a result, these closed systems don’t exhibit the same losses as forced air systems, providing more energy-efficient heating.
A lot goes into designing a radiant heating system. Each project is different and brings a set of challenges that need to be considered beforehand. Hence, every job is tailored to your needs, where we look into different parameters, using different tools and materials for installation. Eventually, the heating output you receive and the system’s efficiency are reflected in all the planning that went into it.
Let’s look at some of these systems and how they can cover your heating needs.
A hydronic floor heating system is a closed system of circulating water or steam at high temperatures through a network of pipes. The system is integrated within concrete or can be attached to the flooring. The hot water or steam is heated via a boiler in your basement or outside your house. It travels through the pipes to your rooms and interacts with the air via conduction. The heated air results in warm convection currents flowing throughout your room and heat up the surroundings. The heat remains undissipated in the tubing, runs back to the boiler, and doesn’t get wasted. The cycle continues increasing efficiency.
Electric Radiant heating Systems
In some homes, hydronic network piping isn’t feasible to install as it entails removing the flooring. Hence, it more suitable for new installations and during renovation projects with a larger scope.
This radiant heating system design relies on heating elements inside heating pads to generate heat. The system can easily adapt to multiple sub-floor materials. Additionally, it doesn’t require the use of a boiler to generate heat, cutting down on parts from where heat can be lost.
Radiant Heating Panel Systems
Have you ever felt the heat from a stove without actually touching it? That’s called radiation and the principle behind the working of radiant heating panels. These panels can be mounted on your walls and ceiling or within your flooring. They consist of a metal panel that captures heat via an electrical element of tubing that carries heated media. The panels have a large surface area that radiates harmless infrared radiation directly into your rooms.
It’s a kind of hybrid radiant heating system design that can incorporate both electrical and hydronic heating. The design you choose to heat the panels can give you the advantages of such as a quick response time and excellent temperature control.
Which One Should You Choose?
As mentioned earlier, many design considerations need to be considered before installation. At All Island Radiant, we perform this inspection for you. Here are some considerations we look at before going forward with a radiant heating system design.
Existing System
It may happen that you already have an existing radiant heating system like an air duct system. This means that you already have a boiler and ducting. We can use these existing installations to pass electrical wires and piping. Plus, there are many kinds of boilers that use different energy sources for heating. We can retrofit a more efficient one as per your request or modify the existing one to blend in with the new system.
Operational Costs
As the owner of your heating system, you’ll have to endure maintenance and operational costs – the more complex your radiant heating system design, the more maintenance issues you may have to face. Heating solutions don’t just rely on radiant heating system designs but also depend on the insulation of your installation. The better it is at retaining heat, the better your heating system will operate.
