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.

I have a Shield maintenance agreement with Southport Plumbing Heading and Cooling.

The value for the plan is fantastic! They come out and help maintain your plumbing, heating and cooling systems. Jacob from the HVAC side has come out to my home and has done an excellent job of keeping me aware of what is working well, and what I may need to keep an eye on.

Justan and Nathan from the plumbing side have also come out to my house and did the regular yearly maintenance. They too, do an awesome job of keeping me updated on how the plumbing is within my house.

I also was alerted to the battery being bad for my sump pump backup system and Justan and Nathan installed a new sump pump and a new backup system as well. The timing was impeccable as we faced a power loss for around 24 hours, and the battery was fully charged and the backup sump pump worked while we didn't have power! It was better paying for the backup system than a repair bill for a flooded basement.

To round it out, the office staff, Sarah did a great job helping me coordinate not only the visits for the maintenance, but also helped facilitate the installation of the plumbing work.

They keep giving great reasons why I'm a long term Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling customer!

Thank you!

I recently had a technician from Southport come out to provide a quote for a new furnace and air conditioning unit, and I was very impressed with the experience. They did a thorough inspection to determine the best fit for my property rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Caleb, the representative, was knowledgeable and took the time to explain all of my options. He educated me throughout the entire process, and made sure I understood the differences between each system so I could make an informed decision. The customer service was truly superb.

I would definitely recommend Southport to anyone looking for an honest, professional HVAC company. They primarily carry Carrier equipment but they do other options exclusively made by Carrier for Southport as well.

Tommy and Blake were so helpful. They went out of their way to explain everything throughly and left me with clear documentation on my issue as well as a full Plumbing System Evaluation. I received 3 different price structures and ways to save money. I would highly recommend this company! Thank you ever so much!

If you want WOW service, contact Southport! From my first call to schedule an emergency air conditioner unit replacement to the installation, Southport was professional, prompt, and priced fairly. (I originally called another company who was the complete opposite--Southport, however, fixed the issue and made sure I was completely satisfied!)

My entire central air system needed to be replaced. The team that came out was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I had a very short timeframe to get this done and they accommodated everything I needed. I would definitely call them again for any of my future needs.
