Redoing the flooring in our house
My spouse and I are redoing the floors in our house… He has it in his head that all our floors should be the same.
He wants the study room, living room, hallway and living rooms all to be the same tile, then i am not too pleased with it.
However, I said if both of us rip up all the floors both of us need to do heated flooring, however that is the only time this heating plan can be sited down. It makes sense to put it in then; My spouse is a bit distraught since both of us live down south and the Winter time season is short! Why not add a heater? It will add value to our house. Our current Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit is 20 years old. When it dies both of us can just focus on air conditioner. I enjoy the plan of the heating plan being beneath our feet too. The radiant gas furnace is silent in operation. It does not create frigid spots either… Since it is electric based rather than air, the heat doesn’t rise and get wasted on the ceiling… Due to this, I could set our house control unit a little lower and save energy. What is especially nice is that heated flooring warms everything that comes into direct contact with it. That means the couch, loveseat and chair will all know as a result. It is cleaner, more efficient and a new way to provide heating. The only cons with this plan is that it raises and adds weight to the floors. I am not afraid of that. I know it is worth installing it.
