I live along the northern border of the country.

Our summer season is just about non-existent.

We seem to go straight from spring to fall, with very few warm and sunny days in-between. There’s definitely no need for a central cooling system. A few box fans and a portable air conditioner in the bedroom window are sufficient to handle comfort. The winter weather is the main priority. The snow and cold often settles in during September and hangs around until the end of April. Every once in awhile, we continue to run the heating system in May. We’ve already had snow on Mother’s Day. Because of temperatures well below zero and the high cost of fuel, a powerful and energy efficient heating system is important. When my husband and I built our home, we didn’t want to sacrifice valuable living space to cumbersome and ugly heating equipment. We didn’t want to live with especially dry, musty air all winter and worry about the health risks of contaminated indoor air quality. We spent hours studying all the different types of heating systems and decided on radiant flooring. We have a boiler installed in the basement that produces a steady supply of hot water. The water is then pumped through a looping series of pipes concealed beneath the floor of the home. The heat spreads evenly across the floor, rises slowly and warms all the surfaces of objects in the room. The heating system is entirely silent, introduces no allergens into the air, and is completely hidden. Each room features an independent thermostat that allows customized settings. There are no drafts, no cold spots, and temperature varies very little between the floor and ceiling. The radiant floor heating is exceptionally energy efficient and low in maintenance. No matter how severe the weather, every room in the house is always perfectly warm and comfortable.
