Transform your home’s comfort with radiant floor heating systems from McCandless Plumbing & Excavation. Our underfloor heating solutions provide consistent, efficient warmth that eliminates cold spots and reduces energy costs compared to traditional forced-air systems. Whether you’re building new or retrofitting existing spaces, our in-floor heating experts design and install systems that deliver luxurious comfort while maximizing energy efficiency.
From hydronic floor heating powered by boilers to electric floor heating for smaller spaces, we work with leading brands like Uponor, Rehau, Warmboard, and others to create the perfect heated floors solution for your home.
Water-based systems circulate warm water through PEX tubing installed beneath your floors. These systems work with boiler systems and manifolds to distribute heat evenly across large areas, making them ideal for whole-home comfort heating applications.
PEX Tubing: High-quality cross-linked polyethylene tubing distributes warm water evenly throughout your floor system with excellent durability and flexibility.
Manifolds: Central distribution systems control water flow to different zones, allowing precise temperature control in different rooms or areas.
Thermal Mass: Concrete, tile, and stone floors store and slowly release heat, creating consistent temperatures with minimal energy input.
Insulation: Proper subfloor preparation including insulation ensures heat moves upward into your living space rather than being lost to the ground or basement.
Zoning Controls: Individual thermostats and zone controls allow different rooms to maintain different temperatures based on usage and preferences.
Radiant floor heating can work independently or integrate seamlessly with other climate control technologies, which is why our completeheating and cooling servicesensure your comfort systems work together efficiently year-round.
Radiant floor heating systems operate most efficiently when paired withtankless combi boiler technologythat provides on-demand hot water for both your heating system and domestic use in one compact, energy-efficient unit.
While radiant heating provides excellent floor warmth during winter months, many homeowners complement their system withductless mini-split cooling solutionsfor efficient air conditioning during summer without compromising their radiant heating setup.
Experience the luxury and efficiency of radiant floor heating in your home. Our certified installers provide professional design and installation services that deliver decades of comfortable, efficient heating.

Radiant floor heating offers significant energy savings compared to traditional heating methods:
Lower Operating Temperatures: Radiant systems heat spaces effectively at lower water temperatures (80-120°F) compared to traditional radiators, reducing energy consumption.
Even Heat Distribution: Eliminates hot and cold spots that force conventional systems to work harder to maintain comfort.
No Ductwork Losses: Heat goes directly into living spaces without the 20-30% energy losses common in forced-air ductwork.
Thermal Mass Advantage: Floors store heat and continue radiating warmth even after the system cycles off, maintaining comfort with less energy input.
Design and Planning: We calculate heat loads, design tube layouts, and select appropriate components based on your home’s specific requirements and flooring materials.
Subfloor Preparation: Proper insulation and subflooring create the foundation for efficient system operation and prevent heat loss.
System Installation: Whether installing PEX tubing in concrete slabs or electric mats under tile, our certified installers ensure proper spacing and coverage.
Testing and Commissioning: All systems undergo pressure testing and operational checks before flooring installation to ensure leak-free, efficient operation.
Integration: We connect your radiant system to boiler systems, manifolds, and controls for seamless operation.
Bathroom Comfort: Warm tile floors eliminate the shock of cold surfaces while providing comfortable heating in naturally humid environments.
Kitchen Efficiency: Radiant heat works well under tile and stone surfaces where families spend significant time.
Whole-Home Heating: Hydronic systems can heat entire homes more efficiently than traditional forced-air systems.
Basement Finishing: Transform cold concrete floors into comfortable living spaces with radiant heating.
