We have decided to sell our home next year, and downsize into a patio home. A patio home in our area is a one story house on a cement pad- no basement.
We live in MN, so the weather and the ground get quite cold in the winter months.
My question is directed to those with in floor (aka radiant) heat in cold weather states. Ideally with the same type of home. What is your experience with in floor heat? I can't understand how much of the heat does not just go to the ground, thus getting wasted. We will opt for the fluid filled tubes if we go this route.
We will be building a new home of about 1300-1400 sq feet. Is this an efficient and cost effective method to heat a home?
