Do I need an electric or hydronic floor heating system?
Electric floor heating systems are ideal for heating smaller areas. There is little or no maintenance involved over time, and they are the easiest types of systems to install. Electric systems are not as complex and make great do-it-yourself projects. Also, depending on the system type, little or no floor buildup is required. Hydronic radiant floor heating is the most popular form of radiant heat, mainly because it has been around the longest. Hydronic systems are ideal for heating entire homes or buildings because they are generally less expensive and have lower operational costs when heating larger areas. When heating large areas, product and operational costs are usually less.
