JV Mechanical Frequently Asked Questions
Radiant Heating FAQs
Uponor PEX tubing products were designed over 30 years ago specifically for use in radiant floor heating systems. In fact, Uponor PEX tubing is one of the most thoroughly tested plastic tubing product in the world. To back up their extensive history of successful radiant floor heating systems, Uponor offers a 25 year tubing warranty. This ensures today’s home and building owners that their heating system will last.
eparate heating and cooling systems actually make the most sense resulting in optimal comfort year round. Radiant floor heating keeps heat where it is needed most. Air conditioning ductwork, therefore, does not need to be as extensive and can be placed more strategically than ductwork used for both heating and air conditioning. JV Mechanical can design and install a heating and cooling system that best meets your comfort needs and your budget.
When homeowners or building owners are making a decision on the type of heating system in their home or commercial project, they should consider the difference between more expensive and too expensive. Radiant floor heating is slightly more expensive to install than other heating methods, but the benefits make it worth the additional cost. Not only will radiant floor heating keep you more comfortable than any other heating system, but it will increase the value of your home or building, and save you money on your monthly heating bill. Most people do not hesitate to spend a little bit more money to upgrade their windows or wood floors, but think little about the comfort system in their home or commercial project. Shouldn’t your comfort be a high priority? The benefits of radiant floor heating are definitely worth the extra money.

Radiant floor heating controls the rate at which our bodies lose heat better than any other heating method. This is because radiant floor heating heats objects in the same way that the sun heats the earth. Radiant energy warms the floor and the objects in contact with the floor. This prevents your body from losing heat to cold objects in the room. It is a scientific fact that heat energy is always drawn to cold objects. When we stand on a cold floor or next to a cold wall, we feel cold. This has nothing to do with the air temperature, and everything to do with the fact that heat is being lost from our bodies to warm up the cold objects around us. This heat loss is controlled with radiant floor heating. The radiant warmth keeps us comfortable at a lower thermostat setting.

Can’t say enough about J V mechanical. Most people don’t even show up to appointments when I call for an estimate or never on time. To start Dean was right on time explained how he would install my tankless hot water tank which also had to converted from electric to gas and from tank to tankless. The guys on the job on the day of install were on time explained everything again before install. I am totally happy with this crew and would highly recommend them. Thanks again guys for being so professional from top to bottom including the people in the office. Great crew!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend JV Mechanical without reservation. I had a small water leak on a joint of the water gauge in my cellar. I was able to control the flow by monitoring the drip into a five-gallon can for a day or two but of course this was only a temporary solution; I have been out of the Webster area for forty years and had no idea of the plumbing repair resources available. I called JV Mechanical and they were able to respond and fix my leak in two hours. Unbelievable service and response. Thank you JV Mechanical.
