Conventional hydronic radiant floor (HRF) heating systems offer significant comfort and efficiency benefits to homeowners, but they carry high installation and component costs. Also, homes with HRF heating usually require a forced-air system at an additional cost. Combine these issues with homebuilder concerns about puncturing the radiant tubing during home construction, and it’s easy to understand why HRF systems are relegated to the high-end, custom-home market.

The Rapid Radiant Deployment System (RRDS) developed by Davis Energy Group reduces the costs of HRF systems by standardizing and simplifying the installation process and by using the radiant system to provide cooling and heating—in many cases, this system completely eliminates the cost of a forced-air system.
