Radiant heat does not use a lot of electricity. This post goes into more detail about why that is and some methodology you can use to project costs. Portland-area homeowners will find this post especially useful.
Radiant floor heating can be an energy-efficient way for Portland homeowners to heat from the ground up. It uses a system of tubes or cables to power heat underneath a home’s floor, and the heat uniformly moves up from there. There is a higher upfront cost, but the energy savings over time can be significant.

Calculating heat loss in terms of BTUs is something best left to the professionals but can be done on an estimation basis if you’re considering initial options for your home. As you might expect, the higher quality of the insulation and windows, the less opportunity for heat loss.
For various reasons, it simply makes sense to hire professionals to install and maintain a radiant heat flooring system. The Earth Heating has been installing these systems for more than a decade and knows how to do it right, on time, and on budget.
Radiant floor heating has a variety of potential benefits, including added home value and tax incentives. Specifically, in Oregon, there are a few different tax rebates and discounts available for ductless installation and smart thermostats.
