Is it profitable in the long term?

Why is it profitable in the long term?

1. Uses less energy

Radiant flooring heats at a low temperature, which means it requires less energy to maintain heat. And since the heat stays in the floor for a long time, it heats less often but more efficiently.

You can often lower your thermostat by 1 to 2°C while still feeling just as (or even more) comfortable. And every degree lower means about 5% savings on your heating bill.

2. Works very well with a heat pump

If you power your floor with a heat pump, you can save even more. It's an ultra-efficient combination, especially if you live in a region where electricity is cheaper (such as Quebec).

3. Long life, low maintenance

A properly installed system can last 30 to 50 years without any major problems. And it requires almost no maintenance compared to a furnace or air system.

4. Adds value to your home

Radiant flooring is seen as a high-end comfort feature, so it can clearly add value to your property or make your home more attractive when it comes time to sell.

In summary:

Yes, it's a good long-term investment:

You pay more upfront, but you gain in comfort, energy savings, and peace of mind for decades to come. And honestly, living in a home that's always comfortable, even in the dead of winter, is priceless.
