Overview

Why Radiant Heat Feels Better

Radiant heating warms your home from the floor up instead of blowing hot air through vents. Heated water (or, in some systems, electric mats) runs through tubing under the floor, so the warmth is even, quiet, and draft-free — no cold spots, no dust getting kicked around, no whoosh of a furnace fan. For bathrooms, additions, sunrooms, and whole-home comfort, it's one of the nicest ways to heat a space.

In North Louisiana our winters are mild, which actually plays to radiant heat's strengths: it delivers steady, gentle warmth without the blast-and-cool cycle of forced air, and it pairs beautifully with the tile and concrete floors that stay cool in our long, humid summers. Mark Johnson & Sons designs, services, and repairs radiant systems across Ruston, Monroe, West Monroe, Shreveport, Bossier City, and Grambling. Every quote is flat-rate and given before we touch a tool, and the service call is waived when you have us do the repair.

What we service

  • Hydronic (hot-water) radiant — PEX floor loops fed by a boiler or water heater, the most common in-floor system
  • Electric radiant mats — under-tile heating in bathrooms and additions
  • Manifolds and zones — zone valves, actuators, balancing valves, and the manifold assembly itself
  • Circulation and pressure — circulator pumps, expansion tanks, air separators, and leak tracing

Repair vs. new install

Most radiant service calls are a single cold zone, a stuck valve, trapped air, or a slow pressure drop — affordable, targeted repairs, not whole-system failures. A properly installed loop can outlast the house; it's the manifold, valves, circulator, and heat source that need attention over the years. When you're adding radiant to a remodel or new slab, we design the zones and manifold around your floor construction and heat source and give you a real number before we start.

What Mark Johnson & Sons does differently

Because we're a combined plumbing and heating company, hydronic radiant work is right in our wheelhouse — it's manifolds, zone valves, circulators, and PEX as much as it is heat, and most HVAC-only shops don't touch it. We trace leaks without tearing up the whole floor, bleed and balance every zone so the warmth is even, and confirm pressure holds before we leave. Every tech is on our payroll, no subcontractors.

Ask about our Classic Membership — the seasonal heating tune-up folds in a check of your loop pressure, circulator, and zones, plus you get 15% off any repair.

Warning signs

Signs Your Radiant Heating Needs Service

Radiant systems are reliable, but when something's off you'll feel it in the floor. Watch for these before a cold snap.

  • One zone or room stays cold while others heat fine

  • Floors take much longer than usual to warm up

  • System pressure dropping or needing frequent top-ups (possible leak)

  • Circulator pump humming but floors staying cold

  • Uneven warmth — warm and cold stripes across the same floor

  • Manifold or zone valve leaking or not opening

  • Boiler or water heater feeding the loop short-cycling

  • Damp spot or unexplained moisture on a slab or subfloor

  • Air gurgling in the loop or a zone that won't bleed clear

The Process

How a Radiant Heating Service Call Goes

Mark Johnson & Sons technician checking a radiant heating manifold in a North Louisiana home

On the truck

Professional tools, parts, and diagnostics — every call.

  1. On-phone triage

    We ask about your system — hydronic or electric, how many zones, its age, and what's wrong. If pressure is dropping fast on a hydronic loop, we treat it as a leak and prioritize.

  2. Full diagnostic on-site

    The tech checks the manifold, zone valves, circulator, system pressure, and thermostat, and traces any leak or airlock. You get a clear diagnosis before a quote.

  3. Flat-rate quote

    You see the price before any work starts — repair, or, for new installs, a designed layout with zones, manifold, and heat source spelled out at real numbers.

  4. Repair or install the system

    We fix leaks, replace failed valves or circulators, bleed and balance zones, or lay out and install new in-floor tubing and manifolds for even, draft-free heat.

  5. Balance, test, and clean up

    We balance the zones, verify each one warms evenly, confirm pressure holds, and leave the work area clean.

Radiant Heating FAQs

It can be a great fit. Our winters are mild, and radiant heat delivers steady, gentle warmth without the blast-and-cool cycle of forced air — it's especially nice under the tile and concrete floors common in North Louisiana homes, which otherwise stay cool underfoot. It's popular for bathrooms, additions, sunrooms, and whole-home comfort.
