4.8 Google Rated

Cold floors and uneven temperatures are common during Madison winters, especially in basements, bathrooms, and older homes. Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs radiant heating systems across Madison and surrounding Wisconsin communities, delivering steady warmth that begins at the floor and fills the entire space. Instead of relying on moving air, these systems heat surfaces directly, creating a more balanced and comfortable indoor environment. Radiant heating is especially effective in Wisconsin homes where maintaining consistent comfort can be a challenge during long stretches of cold weather.

Is Radiant Heating Right for Your Home?

Radiant heating is a strong fit for spaces where traditional systems struggle to maintain consistent comfort.

  • Older homes without ductwork: Avoid major renovations tied to adding ducts
  • Additions and remodeled spaces: Maintain steady heating in newly finished areas
  • Rooms with cold floors: Improve comfort in bathrooms, basements, and main living spaces
  • Homes with uneven temperatures: Reduce hot and cold spots across different areas

This approach works well for homeowners looking to improve comfort without relying on forced-air systems.

Radiant Heating Installation Services

Installing a radiant system requires careful planning to ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability.

Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling provides radiant heating installation in Madison & Greater Wisconsin by designing system layouts, appropriately sizing zones, and selecting the right system for each space. Hydronic systems can integrate with modern boilers for whole-home heating, while electric systems offer flexibility for smaller or targeted areas.

We also evaluate flooring compatibility, insulation, and room layout to support even heat distribution. Each installation is planned to minimize disruption while ensuring dependable operation over time.

Benefits of Radiant Heating

Radiant systems provide a different kind of comfort compared to traditional heating methods.

  • Even heat distribution: Warmth spreads evenly across the room without noticeable cold spots
  • Quiet operation: No fans or blowers running in the background
  • Energy efficiency: Reduced heat loss compared to ducted systems
  • Improved comfort: Warm floors create a more comfortable living space

These systems are especially effective in areas where consistent warmth makes a noticeable difference.

What to Expect After Installation

Once installed, radiant systems deliver gradual, consistent heat without sudden temperature swings. Floors warm first, then the surrounding space, creating a steady indoor environment that feels more natural than forced-air heating. Many homeowners notice quieter operation and fewer drafts immediately after installation.

Vincent was super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! He was not rushed and took time to really explain things to me. He also helped explain our Nest thermostat and we both agree that they are annoying 😆
Thanks for all your help!

I have had two service calls now from Southport. Both times the servicemen were prompt and knowledgeable. Last evening I had called because I had a backup with my basement drain. I thought I could wait until Monday but when it backed up again, Thursday night, I called and they rescheduled me for an early morning appointment. Blake arrived and kept me informed of everything he was doing and what he was finding. He made sure to speak with his superior Throughout his time here.Even though it appears the drain was clear they stayed and made sure that I had no issues with the basement drain. Anytime I have had any questions or concerns the owner, Jackson has always addressed them
Promptly and assures, his customers are satisfied! I have been very happy with Southport

After our home inspection flagged some plumbing issues, I contacted Southport Plumbing. From the very first phone call through the quote and final completion of the work, everything was handled professionally and smoothly.
Their customer service was fantastic — friendly, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. The plumber (Joe) who came out kept me fully informed throughout the process, which I really appreciated. There were no surprises or hidden costs; the final price matched the quote exactly.
They also left the worksite clean and tidy when they finished. Overall, a reliable, transparent, and high-quality service. I would definitely recommend Southport Plumbing and would use them again without hesitation

Southport Home Services is a great company and a great choice to take care of your HVAC needs. Although we have dealt with a couple of the other local service companies, we were lucky to come across Southport when we were ready to replace our furnace and AC. They made good, solid, recommendations, suggested going with a heat pump, and did NOT try to upsell us on more than we needed.

Jackson Barrow and the installation team were fantastic to work with; knowledgeable, patient, willing to explain and educate as they did their work. They fixed some issues with the previous system's infrastructure and made sure we were well taken care of. When we had a minor issue (no fault of Southport) Jackson and team came back out prompltly and took care of it, despite our request being a bit of extra work for them.

I really can't recommend them highly enough!
