Radiant Heating for New Construction in Novato & Marin

When building a new custom home in Marin County, radiant heating is the ultimate choice for comfort, efficiency, and clean aesthetics. We partner with your architect and builder to design and install a high-performance hydronic system tailored to your project.

The Gold Standard for New Marin Homes

Superior Comfort & Health

Radiant heat warms objects, not just the air, providing a silent, even warmth that forced-air systems can't match. It doesn't circulate dust or allergens, contributing to a healthier indoor environment for your family.

Architectural Freedom

Because the heating system is in the floor, there are no vents, ducts, or baseboard units to disrupt your home's interior design. This allows for complete architectural freedom in your new build.

Installation Methods for New Construction

In-Slab Tubing Installation

The most efficient method for new homes. We lay PEX tubing before the concrete slab is poured, turning your home's foundation into a giant, slow-release radiator that provides consistent, comfortable heat.

Best for: New home foundations, custom builds on slab.

Underfloor with Heat Transfer Plates

For wood-framed floors, we staple the tubing to the underside of the subfloor and install aluminum heat transfer plates. These plates distribute heat more evenly and improve the system's responsiveness.

Best for: Custom homes with crawl spaces or multi-level designs.

We are experienced partners for builders and architects throughout Marin County. Our process ensures your radiant heating system is a seamless part of your new build.
