Hexheat infrared heat systems VS baseboard heating 7 Reasons to go with Hexheat for your next project

Hexheat infrared in-floor heating systems – The perfect home heating solution!

As a professional contracting and renovation firm, we are often working within situations where heating a space isn’t as easy as simply adding another furnace duct to the existing furnace. This is particularly true when we are developing legal basement suites in existing houses. In order to ensure the suite is fully legal the basement suite cannot share the main house furnace with the main floor suite, thus presenting the need for a secondary heat system. In the past this has usually meant installing electric baseboard heating. While baseboard heating checks the box of getting heat into a space, it is not necessarily the most desirable way to heat a space. Not only does each room require a physical heating unit, but the heat produced is not as comfortable as one may like.  A smarter solution is now available: a solution that provides excellent heat and an extremely comfortable space to live in. This smarter solution is the in-floor Hexheat Infrared heating system.

What makes Hexheat infrared in-floor heating systems better than baseboard heaters?

See below for 7 reasons why in-floor infrared heating might be considered a smarter option compared to baseboard heating:

Even Heating:

In-floor infrared heating provides even and consistent warmth across the entire floor, resulting in a more uniform temperature distribution in the room. Baseboard heaters, on the other hand, may create uneven heating patterns with warmer air near the ceiling and cooler air near the floor.

Energy Efficiency:

In-floor infrared heating systems can be more energy-efficient because they radiate heat directly to objects and people in the room rather than relying on the natural tendency of warm air to rise. This can result in lower energy consumption and reduced heating costs.

Comfort:

In-floor heating can provide a higher level of comfort as the radiant heat warms objects and surfaces in the room, creating a cozy environment. Baseboard heaters, by contrast, primarily heat the air which may not be as comfortable especially if there are cold spots in the room.

Space Savings:

In-floor heating is installed beneath the floor, eliminating the need for visible radiators or baseboard heaters. This can result in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing living space compared to baseboard heaters, which may take up valuable wall space.

Zoning Capability:

In-floor heating systems can often be zoned, allowing for better control over the temperature in different areas of the house. This can lead to energy savings by heating only the spaces that are in use.

Low Maintenance:

In-floor heating systems typically have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance compared to baseboard heaters, which may have fans, motors, and other components that can wear out over time.

Health Considerations:

In-floor heating doesn’t rely on the circulation of air, reducing the movement of dust and allergens. This can be beneficial for individuals with respiratory issues.
