[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do radiant floor heating and forced air furnace w/ a humidifer. No one wants or does new installs w/ radiators unless you can't get central AC installed (crappy electric rads).[/quote] Radiant floor heating sounds great but in the long run is a maintenance and repair issue waiting to happen. We did an extensive renovation & addition and I was interested in radiant heat but our architect (and the builder we later selected) suggested reconsidering because they've seen so many issues develop over time, that take extensive destructive work to locate and repair (tearing up floors, etc.). I prefer radiators but in a newer house or construction they're rare. We had them in our previous house (along with central AC). We now have forced air with whole house humidifier but it is not nearly as nice as the heat from radiators in our opinion. [/quote]
