In-floor heating in Orillia, designed room by room.

Radiant in-floor heating for new builds, additions and existing homes in Orillia, between Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching. Every system starts with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation and ends with a commissioned, balanced, documented installation.

What we do in Orillia

In-floor heating and hydronics in Orillia

New builds, additions, basements and single rooms, plus the boiler that runs it all.

Radiant heating design

Room-by-room heat-loss calculations to the CSA F280-12 methodology, loop layouts, manifold schedules and water temperatures, for our own installs or as a design-only package for your builder or installer.

Whole-home radiant floors

New builds and major renovations, designed from the slab up, with every loop pressure-tested before and during the pour.

Retrofits & basements

Existing homes too: loops can go into a thin overpour, under the subfloor between joists, or into an addition or finished basement.

Boilers & mechanical rooms

Condensing boilers sized from a real heat-loss calculation, never a guess, with outdoor reset and clean, serviceable piping.

Snow-melt driveways & walkways

Glycol loops under concrete or pavers that clear snow and ice automatically.

Garage heat & extras

Garage and workshop heat, heated towel bars and hydronic baseboards, all run from the same warm-water system as your floors. How hydronic systems work

Radiant in an Orillia home

Three common starting points

Not every project is a new build. Here’s where in-floor heating usually starts in an existing home.

Existing homes

Retrofit, room by room

Loops can go into a thin overpour, under the subfloor between joists, or into new construction like an addition. A site visit tells us which route fits your home.

Basements

The coldest floor, made warm

A basement slab is one of the best places for radiant: loops over rigid insulation, then the finished floor. It turns the coldest floor in the house into a warm one.

Boiler replacements

Sized to your home, not the old label

Replacing a boiler? We size the new one from a heat-loss calculation on your actual home, never from the old one’s label, because oversized boilers short-cycle and waste fuel.

How it works

From first visit to warm floors

  1. Step one

    Your plans, or a site walk

    We come out to Orillia to walk your home, or start from your drawings: a new build, an addition, a finished basement or a single bathroom.

  2. Step two

    Heat loss & design

    A room-by-room heat-loss calculation to the CSA F280-12 methodology, then the loop layout, manifold schedule and water temperatures your space actually needs. How our designs work

  3. Step three

    Rough-in & testing

    Insulation down, loops laid exactly to the design, and every loop pressure-tested before and during the pour.

  4. Step four

    Commissioned & documented

    Every zone commissioned and balanced, the paperwork in your file, and a walkthrough of how it all works before we leave.

Local questions, answered

In-floor heating questions

Can you add in-floor heating to an existing Orillia home?

Often, yes. Depending on the home, loops can go into a thin overpour, under the subfloor between joists, or into an addition or finished basement. A site visit tells us which route fits your space.

What flooring works over radiant heat?

Tile, stone, polished concrete, engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl all perform well over radiant. We design the system around your finished floor, not the other way around.

Does radiant heat the whole house, or just the floors?

A properly designed hydronic radiant system is whole-home heating. The floor is simply the radiator. We size it with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation so it holds temperature on the coldest days.

Do you do the plumbing too?

Yes. We handle heating and plumbing, so the radiant system and the plumbing scope can go under one contract with one trade. See how our systems work.
