At Around the Town HVAC, we proudly install and service radiant heating systems throughout the Chicago area, that offer efficient and comfortable solutions for your home. Radiant heating provides warmth directly through the floor, wall, or ceiling panels by transferring heat via infrared radiation, ensuring even heat distribution without the need for ductwork. This makes it an ideal option for homeowners seeking energy efficiency, especially when compared to baseboard or forced-air systems.
We specialize in hydronic radiant floor systems, which are the most popular and cost-effective for homes in colder climates. These systems use heated water, pumped through tubing beneath your floors, to warm your living space efficiently. With options like “wet” or “dry” installation methods, our expert team ensures a seamless integration with your home’s layout and flooring.
Whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs or want to avoid the dust and allergens often associated with forced-air systems, radiant heating is a perfect solution. Contact us today to learn more about upgrading to radiant heating and discover the comfort and energy savings it brings!
