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.

Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys were pleasant and knowledgeablePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a bit of a nightmare with my AC situation and needed some help quickly and affordably. Those two things don't typically go together with HVAC problems in early summer! I reached out ot JV Mech after reading lots of reviews of different companies and was impressed from the beginning. They were thorough, empathetic to my situation, and worked alongside me for the best solution, which ultimately was a new set of heat pumps for the house. They set me up with Mass Save so I'd get rebates and qualify for 0% interest financing, answer all of my silly questions trying to navigate the office (the ladies in the office are just as great as the techs!) and managed to get me all taken care of before summer has ended. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. They did this all in one day! I don't know how they managed it but there were a million trucks here and it was one and done. They cleaned up well, explained everyhing to me, and even got back to me way after hours when I sent an email with some questions to aleviate some worries I had. The responsiveness is not something I'm used to when dealing with companies like this and it's nice to know I'm covered whenever something comes up in the future. They'll be my "go to" for all my HVAC needs going forward and I'm so happy to have found an honest, caring, local company. Highly recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The plumber from JV was knowledgeable friendly and fixed the problem. Would highly recommend them.
