Radiant Heating Installation in Burlington, WI

Radiant heating works differently from forced-air systems. Instead of pushing heated air through ductwork, it warms floors, walls, or ceilings directly, and that warmth radiates into the room from the surface up. The result is even, draft-free heat with no cold spots and no blowing air.

Our installation process starts with a certified HVAC technician visiting your home to assess the space, understand your goals, and analyze the construction before any planning begins. System design accounts for your home’s size, insulation, floor plan, and flooring material to support consistent heat distribution throughout the space.

For hydronic systems, we install high-quality PEX tubing in precise patterns beneath your floors, then connect the system to a high-efficiency boiler or water heater and integrate everything with your thermostat. Every step is handled by mechanics trained through our structured Internal Apprenticeship & Development Program, a multi-year curriculum combining classroom instruction and hands-on field work under direct Senior Mechanic supervision. Every field technician also completes a minimum of four training sessions per year to stay current on new equipment, technologies, and processes. That depth of training is what helps separate a well-installed system from one that causes problems years down the road.

Hydronic vs. Electric Radiant Heating

There are two primary radiant heating system types, and the right choice depends on your home, your budget, and how you plan to use the heat. We install and service both and walk every customer through the comparison during the initial consultation.

Hydronic Radiant Heating
Hydronic systems circulate hot water through tubing beneath your floors, powered by a boiler. They’re generally the more efficient choice for whole-home applications and are particularly well-suited to new construction or major remodels where tubing can be installed before flooring goes down. Tile, stone, and concrete work especially well as floor surfaces because they conduct and retain heat efficiently, though engineered hardwood, vinyl, and certain laminates can be compatible too.

Electric Radiant Heating
Electric systems use heating cables or mats installed beneath flooring. The upfront cost and installation complexity are lower, making them a practical choice for single-room applications like bathrooms, basements, or mudrooms. They can also be retrofitted into existing spaces more readily than hydronic systems in many cases.

Not sure which direction makes sense for your home? Our technicians explain the tradeoffs clearly so you can make the call with confidence: no pressure, no upsell.

Radiant Heating Repair & Troubleshooting

Even well-installed radiant systems need attention over time. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to pinpoint leaks, blockages, electrical failures, and mechanical issues with precision. Once we’ve identified the problem, we explain it clearly, walk you through all available repair options, and provide a transparent upfront quote before any work begins.

Homeowners should watch for these warning signs that a radiant system needs professional attention:

• Cold spots in flooring - possible blockage, air pocket, or electrical failure
• Unexplained spikes in energy bills - the system may be working harder than it should
• Knocking, gurgling, or hissing sounds - common in hydronic systems with pressure or flow issues
• Unresponsive or erratic thermostat - likely a control or sensor issue
• Visible moisture or water damage - near flooring or walls in a hydronic system, which requires prompt attention

Don’t wait on any of these signs. Leaks in hydronic systems can lead to subfloor deterioration and secondary damage if they’re left unaddressed. Our technicians are available around the clock. 24/7 emergency service means help is available when your heat stops working in a Wisconsin winter.

Radiant Heating Maintenance & Our Annual Agreement

Regular professional maintenance keeps radiant systems running efficiently and extends their lifespan. We recommend a fall check-up for all heating systems before the Burlington cold season sets in. For homeowners who want structured coverage, our Annual Maintenance Agreement delivers a defined set of inclusions: a furnace check-up, an air conditioner check-up, a 30-point inspection, priority scheduling, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, and a 10% discount on all parts and labor when repairs are needed.

Hydronic system maintenance includes:

• Checking tubing for leaks or weak points
• Flushing the system to remove buildup
• Inspecting and cleaning the boiler
• Testing water pressure and flow rates
• Verifying thermostat, zone valves, and circulation pump function

Electric system maintenance includes:

• Inspecting electrical components for wear or damage
• Checking heating cables or mats for performance
• Confirming controls and thermostat are functioning correctly
