There are different types of radiant heating units. These include:

Electric Radiant Heating Units

The design of electric radiant heating units features looped wires that are fixed on panels and operate through charged cables or resistance wires. The heat travels through these cables to heat materials such a concrete or gypsum board which is installed between the floorboards and sub-flooring throughout a space. These types of heating units work the best with hard flooring types such as tile, concrete, or wood slats.

Hydronic Radiant Heating Units

The most desired of radiant heating options, the hydronic radiant heating units connect to a boiler and provide heat by circulating hot water throughout a space. This is accomplished by utilizing tubing made of corrosion-resistant polyethylene or hardened plastic. The overall temperature is controlled through an existing thermostat which connects to the boiler unit.
