Radiant Heating Installation & Repair in Novato, CA

In-Floor Radiant Heating Services for the North Bay Area

Imagine stepping out of bed on a cool morning onto a pleasantly warm floor. This is the simple luxury of radiant heat, a system that provides an unparalleled level of comfort from the ground up.

Achieving this seamless comfort requires careful planning and precise work, whether during a new installation or when servicing an existing system.

What Is Radiant Heating?

Hydronic radiant heating is a comfortable and efficient way to warm your home.

Instead of using forced air to blow heat through vents, this system circulates heated water through a network of pipes installed beneath your floors, walls, or ceilings. The heat then radiates from these surfaces, directly warming up objects and people in the room. It's a bit like feeling the sun's warmth on your skin, but indoors. This heating method creates a consistent, gentle warmth that ditches the drafts and dust associated with traditional forced-air systems.

This type of heating system is an excellent choice for homeowners who want a quiet, clean, and evenly distributed heat source. Because the heat is delivered directly to the surfaces, it’s highly effective at maintaining a stable temperature throughout your home.

At Gene Burch Plumbing Heating & Air, we understand the value of a dependable heating system and are committed to helping you find the right fit for your home.

Pairing Your Radiant Heating System with the Right Heat Source

The in-floor tubing is the delivery network for your radiant system, but the "engine" of the system is the appliance that heats the water. The performance and efficiency of your radiant system are directly connected to this heat source. As a company that manages a broad scope of work, we can help you select and install a perfectly matched unit.

High-efficiency condensing boilers are a powerful and popular choice, as they can provide a steady supply of hot water to keep floors consistently warm.

For those interested in an all-electric, modern solution, an air-to-water hydronic heat pump is an excellent choice for a radiant system. Because radiant floors perform beautifully with the moderate water temperatures that heat pumps produce, the two technologies create one of the most efficient and comfortable heating systems available today.

Our team installs and services all makes and models of both and is happy to help you determine the best fit for your home.

Is Radiant Heat a Good Choice for My Home?

Radiant in-floor heating offers a quiet, comfortable way to warm your home, and it’s especially well-suited for certain projects.

It’s a wise choice for new construction, where tubing can be installed cleanly during the build. It’s also a great upgrade during major renovations, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, where a warm floor makes a noticeable difference.

At Gene Burch Plumbing Heating & Air, we’ve worked extensively with the radiant systems found in Eichler homes, restoring their performance and updating them with modern equipment. Radiant heat is a solid investment for those who value quiet operation, want to reduce airborne allergens, or simply prefer the comfort of consistent warmth.

We’re happy to offer a no-pressure consultation to walk through your project and help you explore whether radiant heating is the right fit.
