Maintaining your furnace
It's important to keep this big piece of equipment in tip-top shape in order for it to operate at peak efficiency.
A radiant heating system uses electric cables or small tubes of hot water embedded in a concrete floor, under a tiled floor or attached to the underside of the subfloor.
