I’ve always wanted floor heating in my home, especially since my teenagers dislike socks and indoor shoes and prefer to go barefoot! My friend and I use a furnace as a heater, and the floors are now always warm enough! When the HVAC repairman came around for HVAC repair, I asked him for a solution, and he suggested that my associate and I try a hydronic furnace for the house and love radiant floors.
It sounded like a feasible plan; all I needed to do was go to the heating company and see what they had in stock.
I was interested in the heat and A/C product because it sounded like the solution to my problem, but at the heating dealership, I explained what I wanted for my home and why, and they asked me to understand the type of floor I had, but unfortunately, it did not fall within the list of floors suitable for radiant floors, so my associate and I were unable to proceed with the project as planned, and they recommended a hybrid furnace that combines a heat pump and an oil boiler. My associate and I were unable to continue with furnace repair, and changing our entire floor was an intimidating project to attempt before dealing with our comfort concerns. As my colleague and I waited to replace our flooring, the installation of the hybrid system appeared to be the simplest. I did more research on radiant floors and realized we’d need a boiler to go with it. I was concerned about boiler repair and safety, so I decided to abandon the idea because we’d have two boilers to worry about until my associate and I were ready to do everything separately without having to worry about it; for the furnace/heater upgrade, my associate and I opted for a high-efficiency furnace/heater.
