this is a terrific way to heat a home ! i brought a 25 yr old house in the midwest that had a concrete slab floor with copper lines running through out the entire 8 rooms and i lived in it for 17 years and wish i still had this same system in each of my two houses since. no hot dry air blowing and i did have lower cost heat bills. most of my entire subdivision had this same system and no one ever complained about it that i know of. in the spring and fall when you have large temperature changes thru out a 24 hour period you will learn to "work" the thermostat accordingly because of lag time for heat up and for heat overshoot. one of my rooms was an add on family room with a small heat and air conditioner unit mounted on an outside wall and i highly reccommend this as it was just enough to offset the highs and lows of the floor system. also in the 17 years i never had any maint. or problems.
