Radiant Heating Design & Heat-Loss Calculations

A radiant system is only as good as its design. Every system we install starts with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation — accounting for insulation, windows, ceiling heights, floor coverings and Muskoka's design temperatures — so each space gets exactly the heat it needs.

From there we design the tubing layout and spacing, loop lengths, manifolds and zoning, choose the right supply water temperature, and size the boiler or combination water heater to match. The result is a system that heats evenly, runs efficiently and doesn't short-cycle.

1. Heat-Loss Calculation

Room-by-room load calculation for your home, addition, basement or cottage.

2. System Design

Tube spacing, loop layout, manifold locations, zoning and controls.

3. Boiler & Equipment Sizing

High-efficiency boiler or combi unit sized to the real load — not a guess.

4. Installation & Commissioning

Installed, pressure-tested, balanced and set up so every zone heats properly.

We design and install radiant heating across Muskoka — Huntsville, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst and the surrounding lakes — and in Orillia, Oro-Medonte, Severn, Ramara and the Parry Sound area.
