What Is a Radiant Floor Heating System?
A radiant floor heating system uses warm water or electric heating elements beneath your flooring to heat your home evenly. Instead of pushing air through ductwork, radiant systems warm surfaces directly for steady, comfortable heat.
Radiant floor heating can be installed beneath tile, laminate, engineered hardwood, and other compatible flooring materials, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and full-home heating systems.
How Radiant Floor Heating Works
- Heating elements are installed beneath the floor surface.
- Warm water or electricity heats the system at low, controlled temperatures.
- Heat rises evenly throughout the room.
- Lower thermostat settings still deliver consistent comfort.
Hydronic vs. Electric Radiant Floor Heating Systems
- Hydronic radiant floor heating: Uses heated water through tubing and is best for large areas or whole-home systems.
- Electric radiant floor heating: Uses heating cables and works well for smaller spaces and supplemental heating.
ClearView installs both hydronic and electric systems across Calgary based on your home’s layout and energy goals. We proudly serve homeowners in Evergreen, Elboya, Diamond Cove, Christie Estates, and Harvest Hills with professional radiant heating solutions tailored to each neighborhood’s unique needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radiant Floor Heating Systems
Is radiant floor heating effective in Calgary’s cold winters?
Yes, radiant floor heating is highly effective in Calgary’s cold winter climate. Because the system heats the floor and surrounding surfaces directly, it delivers consistent, even warmth without the drafts or temperature swings common with forced-air systems. When properly designed, a radiant floor heating system can maintain comfortable indoor temperatures even during extended cold snaps.
Can radiant floor heating be installed in older Calgary homes?
Yes, radiant floor heating can be installed in many older Calgary homes. It’s most commonly added during renovations such as bathroom, kitchen, or basement upgrades when flooring is already being removed. The feasibility depends on your home’s structure, existing heating equipment, and floor construction, which is why a professional assessment is important before installation.
What type of radiant floor heating system is better: hydronic or electric?
Both systems work well, but the better option depends on how and where the heating will be used. Hydronic radiant floor heating is typically better for larger areas or whole-home systems because it offers greater long-term efficiency. Electric radiant floor heating is often ideal for smaller spaces like bathrooms or entryways where you want fast, targeted warmth with a simpler installation.
Do I need a boiler for radiant floor heating in my Calgary home?
Hydronic radiant floor heating systems usually require a boiler or dedicated hot water source to heat the water circulating beneath the floors. If your home already has a boiler, it may be possible to integrate radiant heat into the existing system. Electric radiant floor heating does not require a boiler and operates independently using electric heating cables.
How much does radiant floor heating installation cost in Calgary?
Radiant floor heating installation costs in Calgary vary based on several factors, including the square footage being heated, whether the system is hydronic or electric, the type of flooring, and whether upgrades to your boiler or hot water system are required. ClearView provides detailed, transparent estimates after an in-home assessment so you understand both the upfront investment and the long-term efficiency benefits.
