Quoting from "....tec", the nemesis of internet RFH sales, is ludicrous. You can see that the author simply Googled and called a few "experts". At least TOH was contacted.

    He oughta stick to lawyering and leave the hydronics to those of us who know where we can stick it(G).

    Funny, but I recently declined to visit with one of those underperforming internet-purchased rad systems sold by ........ Hasn't worked right since day-one and it's not the first call I've ever had regarding systems sold by ........ Once touched by you, the customers shift all responsibility from the lousy design to you & I'm not touching a pig in a poke cause that mud woller is too deep for me.

    It reminds me of one of my favorite qoutes= "you don't always get what you pay for but you never get what you don't pay for" It comes as such a surprise when these people trying to save a buck aren't warm. I try to save where I can too-but if my truck breaks I take it to a pro. I don't call someone and say over the phone "send me what I need to fix this darn truck" I get that call daily for heating systems. If I could fix their system over the phone I wouldn't need my truck. Hey - I think I'm on to something.

    It's nice

    to have an article talking about radiant in front of the masses but why didn't they talk to any pro's? They did a disservice to the general public with that.

    That article really gives the impression installation can ba a simple DIY project to save a bunch of $$$. As we all know that little saved up front can and usually does wind up costing a lot more later.

    WOW....

    Things are looking up. My fav internet rad company is now putting TWO, count them, 2 passes of tube per joist bay. Must have decided to see if they could double their pex sale....

    I can retire from the industry now. My job here is done :-)
