We’re looking to build a new home and we’re contemplating having radiant floor heat installed throughout the property. Right now, the plan is for ~1500 sq ft, one story, probably with a crawl space in Northern California (not extreme temperatures).
What are the key things we should be taking into consideration as we design/cost the project?
What is the “best” source for the heat? Presumably, tankless water heaters (on-demand) are cheaper for overall hot water. Are they suited (if sized correctly) for this type of application too?
We just installed a radiant floor heating system and our plumber tells us that a regular thermostat is in fact more efficient than a programmable one, because it doesn’t have to use a lot of energy to get the water hot again. We installed a high efficient munchkin boiler. Thoughts?
