Lots of confusion on the web sites so how about answers to just three questions?
Question one: all other variables considered (only you guys would know them anyway)is electric radiant heat really costlier than gas fired hydronic?
Question two: hardwood floors and oriental rugs, what considerations come to mind for the above heating systems?
Question three: In the hydronic system, does the"boiler in a box" from A.I.M. rule or do the Radiantec people have the "better" approach? I am sure many of you folks have visited both sites.
As a extra bonus can anyone explain the heat plate transfer
mantra better than what has been previously posted on the Wall? (Guess that makes 4 questions...sorry)
Thanks,
Roger
