To build, or to renovate? That is the question.

Renovate or start from scratch? Here are a couple of factors to consider:

Get an estimate - Before you commit to a renovation, get an estimate so you have a sense of costs. Do the same thing for pricing on building a new home.

Find a good contractor - Make sure you find a contractor who knows the demolishing and renovation costs so they can accurately predict to you how much the trades will charge for labour and materials. This applies to a new build and to the renovation.

Incentives - Rebates are offered by the government for home renovations, and can really benefit small scale-upgrades.

Eco-friendliness - Think green, there's nothing greener than working with what you already have. Doing a renovation to upgrade your home using sensible materials is almost always a better environmental option, than demolishing your existing home and sending it to the landfill.

Why Install Radiant Heat?

Installing Radiant Heat has more benefits than just keeping your feet warm in winter.

Lower thermostat settings – You will quickly notice you can lower your thermostat and remain comfortable. In most cases you can lower your average thermostat set point by up to 4 percent. This can mean a lower energy bill.

Heat distribution – Since heat naturally rises, displacing cool air above, radiant heat evenly distributes warmth through your home with a steady and even temperature. It uses the natural circulation of heat within a room to warm it, as opposed to forced-air heating.

Clean air – Radiant heating does not promote the movement of allergens compared to a forced air system. In fact forced air systems can be sources of allergens and dust particles in a home.

Consider installing infloor radiant heating in your future kitchen, bathroom, or full home renovation. At Coordinated Kitchen and Bath we work primarily with NuHeat.
