Typical price ranges
Radiant Floor Heating
Whole-home systems commonly $14,000–$45,000 depending on size and heat source.
See radiant floor heating →Boiler Installation & Repair
Standard-efficiency installs run less; repairs typically $200–$1,800. Replacement is usually worth considering at ~15+ years.
See boiler service →Snow Melt Systems
A typical residential driveway often $14,000–$30,000. New concrete pours cost less than retrofits.
See snow melt →Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
Less if hydronic piping already exists. A 30% federal tax credit may apply.
See heat pumps →Geothermal Heat Pumps
Horizontal loops cost less than vertical. 30% federal tax credit available through 2032, plus possible utility rebates.
See geothermal →Solar Thermal Heating
Depends on collectors and storage; may qualify for tax incentives.
See solar thermal →Maintenance & Custom Design
Custom hydronic design and engineering quoted per project.

Two homes the same size can land at very different numbers. Here's what actually moves a hydronic quote:
- Square footage / area being heated or melted.
- Heat source — high-efficiency boiler, air-to-water heat pump, geothermal, or solar thermal.
- New construction vs. retrofit — retrofits cost more because of access and demolition.
- Number of zones and complexity of the controls.
- Fuel / power at the site — gas service and electrical capacity.
- Floor or surface type — slab, pavers, tile, or existing finished floors.
- Site access, elevation, and travel within Utah.
- Equipment brand and efficiency tier you choose.
- Rebates and tax credits — these lower your net cost (e.g., 30% federal credit on geothermal and solar).
Financing
Larger hydronic projects are an investment, so we offer financing that lets you spread the cost over manageable monthly payments instead of paying everything up front. Ask us for the current application link when you request your quote.
Pricing questions
Why don't you just post flat prices?
Because an honest hydronic number requires a heat-loss calculation and a look at your site. A flat rate would either overcharge simple jobs or under-scope complex ones. We publish ranges so you can plan, then give you a real fixed quote.
Will rebates or tax credits lower these numbers?
Often, yes. Geothermal and solar thermal can qualify for a 30% federal tax credit, and utilities sometimes offer rebates. We'll point you to what your project may qualify for.
Is radiant floor heating worth the cost?
For many Utah homes, yes — it delivers more even comfort, no blowing dust, silent operation, and lower operating cost than forced air, especially in new builds and remodels where tubing installs cleanly.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
If it's under ~15 years old and the repair is minor, repair usually makes sense. If it's older, failing repeatedly, or low-efficiency, a high-efficiency replacement often pays back through lower energy bills. We'll give you an honest recommendation either way.
