4.9 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.

Thank You Riley and Southport Plumbing for a quick response to a very clogged toilet.
Riley arrived within minutes of the scheduled appointment and completed the work quickly and efficiently. He answered all my curious questions politely and cleaned the area completely after the work.
Lesson learned… don’t dump your cleaning water down the toilet with the sponges and rags you used!!!

I had a boiler system installed by Southport and everyone I interacted with was fantastic! After several quotes I selected them because I thought the company had a lot of integrity. I first got a quote from Caleb who was most professional, walking me through all the options they had for me and being very reasonable on the pricing. They scheduled the installation within a week and, on that day, the technicians Ryan and Jacob were excellent and very hard workers. I appreciated that they were very careful inside the house, putting shoe protectors while upstairs and overall being very respectful. They stayed until the job was done and my heat was restored. I would highly recommend Southport if you need a new boiler installation or and work or maintenance on your boiler, home heat, or water heating system.

Thank you for sending Andrew Wenk to test our furnace. He could answer our questions clearly and tested all the important components and measured various pressures, temperatures, speeds, and other technical factors. He gave us 3 estimates for replacing parts that are needed due to age of the furnace. Andrew was pleasant and respectful to us.
