Getting radiant heated floors has been a major hype in the last few years with those who have the money to do so. However after doing some researching to find out more information on radiant heated floors, I have found that it is possible that radiant heated floors are not all they are cracked up to be compared to regular forms of heating. I found some facts talking about how radiant heated floors actually do not heat your home as well as electric heating or any kind of central heating. Sure they don’t use much energy as everything is being generated from hot water pipes below the floors. But at the end of the day your home is not very heated. This goes double for areas that have a very cold climate and for homes that very large. In order to have whole home heating in an extra large home, you would have to spend thousands on having radiant heated floors installed into the place. You would have to cover every single last room. Then on top of that, you may end up having to pay for construction to the have the home converted into all tile or wood flooring! This all would add up to possibly triple thousands in costs! You would have to be pretty rich to accomplish this. But even for the rich, is it really and truly worth it? That would be for them to totally decide. I know I would not dump my money into radiant heated floors…even if I could afford to get them!
