Frequently Asked Questions

ChatGPT said:

The cost to install radiant floor heating in Chicago typically ranges from $10 to $20 per square foot, depending on whether you choose an electric or hydronic system, as well as the floor type and layout complexity. Hydronic systems usually have a higher upfront cost but make up for it with greater energy efficiency and lower long-term operating expenses. We’ve installed systems across a wide range of homes and can help you choose the most cost-effective solution based on your specific layout and goals.

 

For Chicago's harsh winters, hydronic radiant floor heating is often the better choice for whole-home heating due to its energy efficiency and lower operating costs over time. However, electric systems are ideal for smaller areas like bathrooms or kitchens because they’re quicker to install and perfect for spot heating. The best option depends on your budget, heating goals, and whether you’re remodeling or building new.

 

 

Yes — radiant heat flooring can be installed under existing tile in bathrooms with proper preparation. In most cases, the tile must be removed to ensure even heat distribution and safe electrical or tubing installation. However, low-profile electric mats can sometimes be installed over existing subfloors if conditions are right

 

 

Absolutely. Radiant floor heating is up to 30% more energy-efficient than forced-air systems because it heats objects and people directly, not just the air. In cold climates like Chicago, this means lower thermostat settings, reduced energy waste, and more consistent heat distribution. Paired with smart thermostats and proper insulation, radiant systems can significantly reduce monthly heating bills and carbon footprint.

 

The most radiant heat–friendly flooring types for cold climates like Chicago include tile and stone, which offer exceptional heat conductivity and durability; luxury vinyl plank (LVP), known for its compatibility with radiant systems and moisture resistance; and engineered hardwood, which remains stable in varying temperatures, though it’s important to check the manufacturer's specifications. Homeowners should avoid thick carpets or solid hardwoods, as these materials can insulate heat and reduce system efficiency.

The installation time depends on the system type and project scope. For electric radiant mats in a single room (e.g., bathroom), installation typically takes 1–2 days. A full hydronic system in a whole-home remodel or new build can take 5–10 days, including system setup, testing, and floor reinstallation.
