Radiant underfloor heating operates by distributing heat evenly across the floor surface, creating a consistent warmth that rises gradually throughout the space. This eliminates cold spots and drafts commonly associated with traditional heating methods. Moreover, its remarkable design flexibility allows it to be integrated into various flooring materials, from tile to hardwood, making it an attractive option for renovations and new constructions alike.
Ultimately, as energy efficiency becomes increasingly crucial in our fight against climate change, the demand and relevance of radiant underfloor heating designs are likely to grow, shaping the future of comfortable living spaces.

Questions & Answers

Be informed what’s included in the package and the project’s requirements

What’s included in the Radiant Design package?

A Radiant design with a Room-by-room load calculation and a list of tubbing and manifolds required for the loop installation.


*If you’re purchasing a Material Takeoff, it will include a near-boiler piping diagram with the takeoff and material list required to go from the boiler to the loop manifolds.

What’s NOT included in the Radiant Design package?

Anything not covered by Radiant Design, Duct design, ERV/HRV Design, any documents, state-specific forms (can be filled by the contractor/homeowner), and an engineering stamp which is not required for Residential projects. Licensing, site plan, zoning, and installation requirements are separate from the Radiant design and are outside the scope of the project.
*Some towns may require additional licensing/certifications that are outside the scope of our work, which is limited to ACCA-compliant sizing of your heating/cooling, ductwork, and equipment selection. ​

What information is needed to start?

A drawing of the house with the size of ALL walls and dimensions (WxH) of all windows and exterior doors, as well as a filled Price Quote form. The form will contain questions such as equipment preference, construction details, and so on.

Can a Blockload be upgraded to Radiant Design?

No, a Blockload can’t be upgraded to a Radiant Design, as Radiant needs the individual room load requirements. If you plan to add a Radiant design in the near future, please place an order for a Room-by-Room Manual JS.

What if you require any state-specific forms, such as the Florida R405-2022 supplement?

I do not offer R405-2022. Please reach out before purchasing the gig to discuss any extra required forms, as they are not part of the Manual JDS.

What software do you use?

I use the ACCA-certified “Wrightsoft” program with the Right-Radiant module. I find it to be the most accurate and detailed program on the market.
Right-Radiant® combines industry-standard ASHRAE calculation methods and field-proven design techniques to provide a comprehensive radiant design and calculation tool for laying out, sizing, and calculating in-floor radiant heating systems.

Can this be used to get a permit?

Yes, it can. Most jurisdictions require these calculations to obtain a permit to start construction.

Are you familiar with the most up-to-date mechanical codes?

Yes, I am a Master HVAC Contractor License holder for the state of New Jersey and must have code update classes to maintain my license. I have completed well over 5000 load calculations for various states.

Overview of Radiant Design

One of the primary considerations in radiant underfloor heating design is the type of system employed, which can significantly affect both efficiency and comfort. Hydronic systems utilize heated water flowing through pipes installed beneath the floor, while electric systems use heated cables. Each system has its advantages and drawbacks; for instance, hydronic systems can be more cost-effective for larger areas and offer consistent warmth, while electric systems are often easier to install and ideal for smaller spaces or retrofitting existing homes. Additionally, choosing the appropriate flooring material is crucial, as some materials, such as tile and concrete, conduct heat more effectively than others, like carpet or hardwood, ultimately enhancing the overall performance of the heating system. Incorporating radiant underfloor heating can also lead to improved energy efficiency in a home or commercial environment. Traditional heating systems often rely on convection, which can result in uneven heat distribution and significant energy waste.
