What We Do
Services We Provide in Greenwood Village
From heated driveways to whole-home radiant floors, we arrange assessments and written scopes for every radiant heat project.
Zone-by-Zone Comfort
Sized for Greenwood Village’s larger home footprints
Big floor plans need accurate load calculations, not guesswork, every zone gets the BTU output it actually requires.
Greenwood Village properties tend toward spacious layouts with multiple living zones. A single-thermostat approach leaves some rooms cold and others overworked. Hydronic radiant systems with manifold-based zone control let each area of the home run at its own set point, so a finished basement and a main-floor great room aren’t fighting the same loop.
At this elevation, a generic square-footage estimate undersizes the system. Every project here starts with an altitude-adjusted load evaluation that accounts for the home’s actual heat loss, floor assembly, and glazing. That calculation drives equipment selection, whether hydronic tubing fed by a condensing boiler or an electric mat for a single bathroom addition.
Outdoor snow melt is a common request for driveways and walkways in this area. Those lines are scoped with glycol mix ratios and freeze-protection thresholds built in from the start, not added as an afterthought. Permitting requirements in Arapahoe County are reviewed as part of the project scope, and a post-install performance check confirms the system hits its specified output before the project closes.
Local questions
Questions we get in Greenwood Village
What is the downside of radiant heat?
The main drawbacks are higher upfront installation cost and longer warm-up time compared to forced air. Hydronic systems also require a boiler and manifold, adding mechanical complexity. That said, radiant delivers even heat with no ductwork, which suits the open floor plans common in this area.
Can you add AC to a house with radiant heat?
Yes. Radiant heat handles heating only, so a separate cooling system is needed. Most homeowners pair radiant floors with a ductless mini-split or a dedicated ducted AC system. The two systems operate independently and don’t interfere with each other.
What is the life expectancy of radiant floor heating?
PEX tubing used in hydronic systems typically lasts 30 to 50 years when installed correctly and the glycol inhibitor is maintained. Electric mats generally last 20 to 30 years. The boiler or heat source has its own service life, usually 15 to 25 years depending on the unit and maintenance schedule.
Should I turn off my radiant heat in the summer?
You can set the thermostat to a low standby temperature rather than shutting the system off entirely. Keeping the boiler in standby prevents glycol from stagnating and makes the system faster to respond when fall temperatures drop. A full shutdown is fine for electric mat systems.
