Number of floors of radiant heat are adorable. Nothing is so effective because the heat comes from the word itself and rises.
I worked on the houses of several storeys retirement had radiant heat. The seniors love it.
They are expensive to sell low. If one in condiering I personally would not be one in a house, I thought about life in less than 15 years.
Published in exsiting house may even be more expensive than new construction.
When you consider a heated floor, what are your options for heating water in the pipes? Propane, natural gas, wood ....? Make sure the costs and actually think about how long you live in this house.
Remember, while the initial cost of high heating costs are low, then all quiet. As you near retirement is a blessing for your heating costs will be low.
When we build, we will charge to install a heated floor. We are a central boiler (brand name)Heat water. A central boiler runs on propane, natural gas, wood, wooden pallets (!!), or coal. Here is a link to them if you are interested:

The radiant heat is less effective than the heat forced air. However, under-floor heating is more efficient than the radiant panels. I'm talking about the cost and energy efficiency, because energy costs money.
