New Home, Hydronic Heating Questions

Larry Weingarten

Hello, The idea of warm floors is fun, but as your house gets more efficient, the cooler the floors will be as there simply is less heat required. You may feel those warm floors when it's really cold outside, but not so much the rest of the time. I did radiant walls in my place...

Yes Larry is correct. Floors should feel almost neutral. The warm floors were back when fuel was cheap, and insulation scarce.

To add to @hot rod last post. Oil canning, clicking, etc in the middle of the night usually will make some crawl the walls. Usually at night is when the loads come for sure, and the system runs.
