My shop is under construction this week and next, a 30'x26'x12' pole
building. The floor is my responsibility, and my thought was to
install 2" foam insulation on the gravel then pour my concrete on top
of that with the pex tubes in the concrete.
My area is a Zone 5 usda, meaning we have signicant below 32 days, and
some days below 0 every year.
Is there a fellow wrecker that uses radiant floor heat that could
comment on their fuel source and their cost of operation on a month to
month basis?
Thanks

I have radiant heat in my house and it is superb. We use a Buderus
(sp?) G215 oil fired boiler. It takes about 48 hours for the house to
reach temp. After that the boiler fires about 30% less as per my
estimates. Thus, not only is the *feel* of the heat superior, the
system saves about 500 gallons a year. I live in coastal NH.
