Dear A.I.M. Radiant Heating:
After living with an inadequate forced air heating system in my house in Albuquerque, NM I decided that it was time to upgrade. After researching the different options, including a new forced air heating system, Fin baseboard heat, and Slimline baseboard heat, I decided that a Slimline system offered the best in comfort and design.
I looked at the different options on the Internet, and I contacted a couple of suppliers, including A.I.M. Radiant Heating. From the beginning I was impressed with the company's fast response and detailed information collected. Many companies do heat loss calculations by "rule of thumb", but A.I.M. Radiant Heating needed a layout of the house, including details of the insulation, windows etc. to create an accurate calculation. They also discussed how many zones were needed, and if domestic hot water should be included.
In a few days I received the first proposal. Since I still had some questions, I spoke directly with the president of the company, who answered my questions and tailored the system to my specific needs and requirements. After we completed the design, which included a Boiler Room in a Box, production of the system started, and a few weeks later all the items arrived at my house. Everything was professionally assembled and packaged.
After arrival of the system, I started the installation of the Slimline panels and PEX supply lines. Every step of the way, the detailed documentation provided by A.I.M. Radiant Heating answered most of my questions. However, whenever anything needed clarification, the company was only an email or phone call away. I needed a couple of additional items along the way, and they were always shipped quickly to me. I had a plumber install the Boiler Room in a Box and gas lines, but that was pretty easy as the system was preassembled in the factory.
In summary, I had a great experience working with A.I.M. Radiant Heating. The product and staff is excellent. My new system looks great installed, and I can't wait for winter to feel the comfort of radiant heat. If you need a new heating system, look no further than A.I.M. Radiant Heating.

Dear A.I.M. Radiant Heating:
We realize you do not know us; however, we wanted you to know how much we appreciate your extremely knowledgeable staff. Barb took my order for the Boiler Room in a Box. She received permission from Roger to assemble the box in a custom size 4’6” x 3’6” and remote hook up the manifold to fit our sizing requirements. The system is now up and running and operating perfectly. All for less money than we could have done it from scratch.
Both Roger and Barb have gone above and beyond the call of duty and made us very happy customers. Every question and concern was promptly and professionally answered. You can tell they both love what they do!! We will recommend your company to anyone who wishes to install a radiant heat system.
Feel free to use us as a referral for anyone wishing to purchase one of your Boiler Room in a Box systems.
Thank you for your time and for a wonderful staff and product.

Dear A.I.M. Radiant Heating:
This letter is written to express how happy I am with the Boiler Room in a Box radiant floor heating system I purchased from your company in 2003. I learned of A.I.M. after watching an episode of the Bob Vila’s “At Home Show”. The show convinced me that a radiant flooring system could be affordable for my new home if I was willing to do the installation myself. Having limited plumbing skills, the Boiler Room in a Box application was the perfect solution to meet my needs.
After working with your company to finalize a system design for my 2,500 sq. ft. two story colonial replica house. I ordered all the materials to heat all of the main floors of the house and also decided at that time to install ‘pex’ heating pipe in both my cellar and garage floors. The instructional video which came with the system provided me with almost all of the directions I needed to install the pex-al-pex tubing and finish assembling the system. On a number of occasions, it was necessary for me to call members of the A.I.M. staff to get advice or detailed instruction on some aspect of the assembly or operation. My request for technical assistance has always been answered by someone who has been knowledgeable and concerned that my questions were addressed in a timely manner.
It has been four years now and everything keeps humming along in total silence. I love the fact that I don’t have any “heating ducts and radiators” to distract from my hardwood floors. The Takagi “on demand” furnaces have operated flawlessly and continue to be extremely economical when compared to the other types of heating systems I’ve owned. I am happy to report that the system and your support have exceeded my expectations!
Thank you again for your personal assistance and please express my appreciation to members of your staff for a “job well done.”
Sincerely,

Dear A.I.M. Radiant Heating:
As consumers, we often make our displeasure known but we seldom take the time to express our pleasure with a product. This is one of those rare exceptions. A number of years ago, we were introduced to A.I.M. baseboard heater system at a home improvement show. We were so impressed by the esthetics and functionality that we added the brochure to our remodeling wish list.
Several years later, we embarked on our basement remodel. The basement was unheated and we were able to add the A.I.M. baseboard system, making it a 3rd zone in our home. I can’t tell you how delighted we are with this product. It heats up rapidly and looks great. We trimmed our unheated walls with 5” baseboard for a uniform finished look.
We’re now in the process of remodeling a small master bath and will install the A.I.M. baseboard. In this potentially damp environment, we especially look forward to no longer having to worry about rusting metal baseboards and dusty “fins”.
Our next home will be A.I.M. from top to bottom!

Pat and Bob Ching

Dear A.I.M. Radiant Heating,
We wanted to thank you so much for assisting us with our in the floor and underfloor radiant heating system. Having you reasure me that I could install the system myself was very helpful. The detailed installation instructions for how to install the Staple Up and the In The Floor was extemely helpful. The "Boiler Room In A Box" was easy to install because you did all the hard work.
We love the warm floor!!!! We would not even think of another type of heat after having it installed.
Thank you,

What you see are pictures of the in the floor system installed on a existing slab. This was installed in a non-finished basement. the process went like this:
- The wire mesh was layed on the existing slab
- The Pex tubing was tied (with pipe ties) to the wire mesh
- Pea gravel was put in place to reduce the amount of cement required
- Cement (Gypcrete) was poured over the top of the mesh, tubing and gravel to create a smooth heated floor
