Fits Every Build

New Construction Installation

New construction offers the ideal opportunity for radiant floor installation, where we work directly with your builder to integrate tubing into the foundation pour and coordinate boiler placement with your home's other mechanical systems.

Existing Home Retrofit

Retrofit installations bring radiant comfort to existing homes, particularly during major renovations. We’ll assess your current heating system, and home layout to determine the best retrofit approach for your situation and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our services, licensing, and process.

Installation timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. New construction installations involve tubing layout, boiler installation, and system startup, while retrofit projects depend on the existing conditions of the space. Our team will provide a more accurate timeline during the assessment process.

Tile, stone, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl all work excellently with radiant systems, while solid hardwood and carpet require special considerations—we'll help you choose the best flooring for optimal heat transfer and comfort.

Absolutely—many homeowners start with high-priority areas like master bathrooms, kitchens, or main living spaces, then expand to other rooms during future renovation projects since the boiler and main distribution system can accommodate additional zones.

Operating costs are typically 10-30% lower than forced air systems due to lower operating temperatures and the ability to zone-heat only occupied areas, with actual costs depending on your home's size, insulation, and local energy rates.

Very minimal maintenance—annual boiler service and periodic system checks are typically all that's needed since there are no air filters to change, no ductwork to clean, and the in-floor tubing is designed to last for decades without maintenance.

Both techs on the job were very capable. They worked independently on different parts of the project and finished significantly under the estimate. Clean work.

Our contractor hired Metolius River plumbing for an extensive re-plumb on our house. They did a fantastic job. We have since hired them for some additional work. Shorty is a fantastic dude and a gifted plumber. I would highly recommend them.

Shorty actually listened to me about the issues I experienced and tested things to confirm the problem. I would highly recommend Metolius River and Shorty and can attest to their professionalism and trustworthiness.

An alert for our Viessmann boiler (heats the entire house) popped up the day before we were leaving for vacation. Even though MRP was fully booked, Shorty squeezed us in and repaired the issue. Great people, super-responsive and very knowledgeable.

Bob C.

A great company. They were easy to schedule with and showed up on time. The work, a check of our solar hot water system, was done quickly and very efficiently. This is the only company I will call for help with our hot water solar system. They were great eight years ago and are still great today.
