A house we are considering to purchase has radiant heating. I've never seen it before and am wondering if it is a reason to pass on this house. I read up on how it works, but have not found any info on how it compares to other heating systems such as gas or electric.

Efficient, quiet, clean, It is great. If it is an older system with copper pipes I would be careful. It can be a mess if it springs a leak and you have to tear up the floor.

A room with Radiant In-Floor space heating will have a very uniform temperature from the ceiling to the floor. Heating a basement floor is the ideal application for our radiant heat systems. If you've lived in a house with forced air, you can crank the heat up, but the basement floors are still chilled. Installing a floor warming system will add comfort and warmth to your lifestyle.

Have you ever been around a wall heater? that is a type of radiant heater. Floor radiant heating is pretty good as it heats the floor and if done properly is very comfortable. They can be either gas or electric
