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.

Posted on Linda BehuninTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's a pleasure to deal with this company. I had a young gentleman come clean my heating and cooling system. He was efficient, did an excellent job, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.Everyone in the office was wonderful as well!! I highly recommend them. 5 stars!!!!Posted on Kattie TurgeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a pipe burst. On a weekend. At night. They had someone out very quickly, and reasonably priced. Their staff (including whoever is on call) have been kind and demonstrated urgency when I needed it. I called them again the next year when a different pipe burst, and had the same experience. Highly recommend, they've become our go-to for all future needs.Posted on Elizabeth BemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not only were they quick to get me on the schedule, but the work was done professionally and thoroughly... potentially avoiding another call about toilet issues in the near future. 😊 This was the second time using them for a plumbing-related job, and I will continue to hire them for jobs in the future!Posted on Stephen JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome job. Thanks for the great service and quick response 👍Posted on Beverly WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my propane furnace replaced today. My interactions with this company have been absolutely great from setting this up with Collette, having the problem assessed by Mike and installed by Luke. I will recommend JV to anyone looking for work done.Posted on Kate TaintorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our second mini split put in today and are very pleased with the installation! Ed, Kyle and Noah worked diligently through the snow, sleet and rain to install the mini split and were kind enough to answer any questions we had. We are grateful for their expertise and highly recommend JV Mechanical for their excellent service. A job well done. I’m addition, a shout out to Nekelle, who came and estimated the work. We originally had a review for her, but Google will not allow two reviews for the same company. We are very grateful for her friendliness and professionalism.
