What is the difference between radiant floor heating and more traditional forms of heating like the most common forced air?

A.: A simple description: radiant floor heating is one of the most comfortable forms of heating for almost any structure, including your home. The steady heat is radiates upward from the floor to your body. Because you are in constant contact with the floor, the warm comfort will travel from your feet all the way up your entire body. Radiant floor heating is healthy: No dust, particles or allergens are blown around. Radiant floor heating is one of the most energy efficient methods to heat a home for several reasons: 1. Radiant heating, similar to standing in the sun on a cold winter day, warms your body and objects in your home, not just the room air (as opposite to a forced-air furnace). This allows you to keep the room air temperature somewhat lower, yet still feel comfortable. By keeping the indoor air temperature lower, there is less heat lost to the outdoors through the walls and windows. If less heat is lost outdoors, your heating system consumes less fuel.
