It lasts a long time and frees up space
I have lived with a boiler in my household for quite some time. The boiler was hooked up to my baseboards to create even heating in my home. I am not going to lie, I am not a fan of baseboard heating. I feel it looks ugly and doesn’t work that well. Thankfully I found a way to utilize my boiler more effectively. I had it in my head that I wanted to redo my flooring. I started ripping up the old carpet and picked out a gray, porcelain tile. I had already bought all the tile, cement board, mastic, and screws. I had ripped out the carpet, laid my cement board and was ready to tile when I did some extra research. I stumbled upon hydronic heating. Apparently all you need to do is have piping hooked to your boiler and laid over the cement board. The boiler heats water that flows through the pipes to create heated flooring. This hydronic heating system is quiet in operation and doesn’t stir up dust or create cold spots due to it being water and not forced air. Another pro is that the heating system is hidden under the tile. It won’t sustain any damage or wear and tear. The heat flooring also warms anything touching it. So the couch, loveseat, and chairs all feel heated as a result. It lasts a long time and frees up space. I was immediately on the phone with my heating business to have my baseboard heating changed to a hydronic heating system. It is such a better heating system.
