I was able to coast through the winter season with my heated flooring system
I recently moved to Plano, Texas for a change of weather. I was sick of the northern cold climate. I wanted to experience a longer summer season and a milder winter. I immediately hit the horn and bought myself a great air conditioning system for my Texas home. I figured the Texas summers were going to be long and brutal. I bought myself a high velocity air conditioning system. It used smaller, flexible ductwork that was in the walls and ceiling of the house. Having perfectly controlled ac was a relief. How the AC ran was more effective and better at lowering the house temperature. After that, I decided not to buy a heating system. How cold could Plano get? Turns out quite cold! I was shocked that a state so far south still gets a cold winter season. You can’t get by without a good heater in Plano. So the next step was researching a heating system. I invested in hydronic radiant flooring since there was already a boiler in the basement. The boiler had piping hooked to it and the pipes stretched throughout the floors. Hot water flowed through the boiler and then heated the floors as a result. It created quiet, even, and clean heat. I love having hydronic heating in my house. I was able to coast through the winter season with my heated flooring system. I honestly like it much better than my air conditioner. I enjoy how quiet it is and how there are no hot and cold spots in the house. I just wish there was an AC option like heated flooring.
