There is much misperception in terms of low-voltage and line-voltage radiant heat systems. The aim of this article is to dispel some of the myths surrounding the different kinds of systems. 

For years baseboard heating was the home heating system of choice for many consumers. Relatively cheap and easy to install, baseboard heating systems were installed in new homes in the 70s, and without knowing their other options, many consumers have stuck with it—until now.

Radiant floor heating is quickly trumping baseboard heating as the titan of the home heating market. With its superior heating capabilities and maintenance-free logistics, radiant heating is persuading consumers everywhere to make the switch from baseboard heating to radiant heating.

Radiant heated floors certainly beat baseboard heaters in several aspects, but perhaps the crowning feature of heated floors is the maximum flexibility they offer consumers. Electric radiant heating offers three main aspects of flexibility that baseboard heating systems don't: installation freedom, variety, and custom design plans.
