Choosing an Allergy Free Heating System for Your Home

Introduction

In the pursuit of a cozy home environment, we often overlook the particulate matter lurking within our heating systems, causing discomfort and health issues, especially for allergy sufferers. Traditional heating methods, such as forced-air systems, may inadvertently exacerbate allergies by circulating allergens like dust, pollen, and mold spores. However, there is hope for those seeking warmth without compromising air quality and comfort. In this discussion, we explore innovative solutions to combat allergies while ensuring your home is as cozy as possible.

Hiding in Traditional Heating Systems

Forced-air heating systems work by blowing warm air through ductwork to circulate it throughout your house. Unfortunately, those warm, confined spaces are a haven for allergens. In fact, the ducts running throughout your home act as repositories for particles that provoke many unpleasant reactions. 

Dust, pollen, and mold spores all hide within your heating system, and your furnace filters may spread, and trap them, leading to coughing, sneezing, stuffy noses, and even skin irritation. Furthermore, contaminants from your heating system can also be dangerous to asthma sufferers, triggering severe breathing difficulties. 

Preventing Mold Build-up

Underfloor heating products, such as ThermoTile®, offer a notable advantage in preventing mold growth in areas of the home prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. By evenly distributing heat across the floor surface, these systems help to maintain consistent temperatures, reducing the likelihood of condensation buildup on cold surfaces where mold thrives. Unlike traditional heating methods that may create localized warm spots and cooler areas, underfloor heating provides a more uniform temperature, discouraging moisture accumulation and mold formation. With underfloor heating, homeowners will not only enjoy warmth and comfort but also peace of mind knowing that their living spaces are less susceptible to mold growth.

Nowhere to Hide

In-floor electric radiant heating systems don’t need external equipment to circulate air. With the heat rising naturally from under your feet, you have no ductwork that harbors dust, pollen, and mold spores. Fans and blowers that force offending particles into your rooms are unnecessary as well, removing the spread of allergens. The gently warmed surface is kind even to bare feet, and with WarmStep® by ThermoSoft, you can rest assured that your flooring will radiate consistent heat throughout the entire day.

Cozy Wood Floors

WarmStep® by ThermoSoft is an in-floor electric radiant heating system tailored explicitly for wood flooring that’s either attached by nails or glued down, providing you with the best design and most complete solution for warmth, reliability, and safety.  WarmStep® systems employ a fabric heating mat with a thermal cut-off to protect wood floors and prevent overheating. If your system were to ever exceed the manufacturing limit, WarmStep® would automatically shut down, helping to ensure your peace of mind. 

Additionally, by using FloorSentry®  or  FidBox® with WarmStep® you can monitor and record both the temperature and moisture levels of your flooring to help you prevent any potential damage to your floor or the system. Furthermore, by using programmable thermostats and WarmStep’s® in-floor sensors for precise temperature controls, you’ll always be sure that your system is working at your desired heating levels. 

WarmStep® systems are also easy to install because you don’t have to deal with loose wires or cement. In fact, the mats can simply be fitted to the edge of your floor and rolled out. Additionally, you can lay this versatile product under both engineered wood or hardwood floors to fit your unique lifestyle and decor. 

With WarmStep® you and your family can enjoy comfort and warmth while telling hidden allergens goodbye. 

Conclusion

In the quest for a warm and allergen-free home, traditional heating systems fall short. However, with in-floor electric radiant heating systems like WarmStep® or ThermoTile®, homeowners can enjoy both warmth and comfort without sacrificing air purity. By eliminating the need for ductwork and employing advanced safety features, these systems offer a viable solution for allergy sufferers, ensuring a cozy and healthy living environment for all.
