Why You Need a Floor Heater in Your Home

As much as we don’t want to admit it, cooler weather is on the horizon. But just because the temperatures will drop soon, doesn’t mean you need to be uncomfortable. Aside from radiant heating, a great way to stay toasty during the cooler months is to invest in a floor heater. Between having cleaner air and lowering energy bills, floor heaters have many perks:

Reduce allergies. Floor heating as opposed to radiant heating can be especially beneficial for people who suffer from allergies. Since you’re not using a forced air system, you are less likely to blow allergens into and around your home. Not to mention you won't have to deal with all that dust that gets blown around too.

Be flexible with furniture. If all your heat is coming from radiant heating, then you need to be careful as to not block vents and baseboards. Choosing a floor heater, on the other hand, means you don’t have to worry as much about strategically placing your couch and chairs far from walls just to maximize air flow.

Evenly distribute heat. It's common for heaters to warm up one spot of your home but not another. However, when you install heated floors, you can rest assured that your heat will be evenly distributed. 

Lower energy costs. Heating your floors is energy-efficient, which means you'll have more control over your energy bills at the end of each month. When used in conjunction with other heating methods, floor heaters can help you stay cozy, which is a major benefit if you’re trying to save money.

Floor Heating Benefits for Your Home

Considering installation of floor heating in your home? As a homeowner it is important to understand the various benefits that come with the projects you are about to undertake.

Floor heating (typically referred to as radiant heating) is specifically advantageous for people with allergies. Since it is not a forced air heating system, it does not blow allergens into the home. Plus, it is more efficient for this reason because it eliminates duct losses.

Other benefits of radiant floor heating include the following:

• You can place furniture anywhere in the room since there are no vents or baseboards involved.
• The even distribution of heat throughout the room creates an optimal level of warmth.
• This energy efficient alternative allows you to maintain lower energy costs than other heating methods.

Romance Chilling Snow May Disrupt Valentine's Day

Snow has been on our mind a lot this winter, and the holiday that warms our hearts may be chillier than ever this year! As 6-10 inches of snow are heading toward the Northeast tomorrow night, traveling on Valentine's Day may not be the best idea.

According to silive, "A southern storm will track close enough to the Northeast coast prior to cupid's favorite holiday to directly impact travel in and out of Staten Island and the rest of New York City. Flight delays and cancellations may begin as early as Tuesday."

New York Plumbing and Sewer hopes you keep this in mind as you finalize your Valentine's Day plans with your loved ones! Perhaps a cozy night at home will do the trick? Make sure your heat can brave the storm or visit our website to get the heating services you need in time.

Your Property’s Water Heating System: Pros and Cons

Trying to decide how to heat the water in your home? Whether you realized it or not, there are options based on your home type that could be more suitable than others. With the help of Proptery24, we are able to specifically look at the differences between a solar geyser heating system and heat pumps.

There are many factors involved in deciding which heating system is right for your home. You want to think about the amount of water the system will need to provide, the space and budget available, as well as the climate in the region your home is located. For example, one major benefit of using a solar geyser system is that it “can provide sufficient hot water, regardless of weather conditions and water quality.”

While multiple advantages and disadvantages come with the installation of each water heating system, today we are only going to highlight a few:

Solar Geyser

Pros

• This type of heating system provides uses free and renewable energy. 
• A solar geyser can save you up to 90 percent of your family’s water heating costs. 

Cons

• There are high upfront investment and installation costs associated with this heating system. 
• Routine maintenance is needed. 

Heat Pumps

Pros

• Heat pumps can be stored in a small space. 
• This heating system uses electricity, which means you are guaranteed to have hot water at all times. 

Cons

• Heat pumps can be noisy. 
• The system becomes less efficient if the hard water is not softened. 

Keep in mind that the maintenance needed for heat pumps requires a plumber that truly is qualified and can do the job right. Call New York Plumber or visit us on Facebook with more questions or concerns.
