In-floor Radiant Heating

[Joel A. Jones]

Paul,

You will like the radiant heat.   Steady temp  without the whistle of 
the
forced air fans.  One of my customers did not like the sound on the 
concrete
so he added a sheet of plywood under the piano.  I have to say it 
helped the
sound.

Also my experience here is that the temp of the room does not
need to be as hot for you to feel comfortable.  The feet stay
warm as well as all the furniture etc. in the room.

Wish I had it on tonight with below 0 temps.
