While forced-air heaters heat air and then distribute that heated air throughout the house via a system of ductwork, a radiant heater instead applies heat to surfaces in the home directly. With our in-floor heating installations, a boiler is used to heat water. Rather than sending that heated water to hydronic baseboards or radiators, however, it circulates beneath the floor in a closed system of pipes.
The heat from the water-an outstanding heat transfer fluid-transfers to the floors via the pipes, and then that heat radiates up and out to objects and bodies in the living space. There is no heat loss due to leaky ductwork, indoor air quality issues stemming from forced-air heating are curbed entirely, and you don't really have to worry about heated air simply rising up to the ceiling and getting trapped.
