When my brother told me I had to visit, I wondered what the big fuss was about.
I was just at his place the previous weekend and there was nothing special at his house it seemed.
I mean, I did enjoy his fireplace a great deal, but his air quality was average and he didn’t have some kind of advanced air purification system or anything. Well, I was stunned when I stepped into his place. I asked what he did to make the heating so comfortable in the house. He asked if I was familiar with hydronic heating systems. I guessed he was using a boiler system, but there was no heating coming from radiators, but it seemed the heating was coming right from the floors, they were so warm and toasty! I couldn’t help it, I had to pull off my shoes and socks and walk around barefoot on the floors. He said he would let that slide for now, but I would have to wear my socks in the future. He also had a fire going in the fireplace, so we all relaxed in the living room for a long time. We had wine and played different games like charades and pictionary. My brother said that he missed hanging out like we used to in the past and he wanted to do this sort of thing more often. After experiencing those radiant heated floors, I told him I would be there all the time! It wasn’t just me either, his friends and our family were coming over to his house all the time to hang out and catch up. My brother has become kind of popular thanks to that new heating system installation. I might have to get radiant heated floors installed at my place as well!
