Thinking of installing radiant heat under the floors, My wife says that it only keeps the floor warm. I was told it makes the whole room warm. Anyone have an answer?

It keeps the whole room warm We have it in are house and we love it
Floor heating refers to radiant systems that are installed throughout most or all of the floor area of the home. Almost any modern well-built home, regardless of climate, can be comfortably heated with a radiant floor heating system as its sole heat source. In fact, a Warmboard system is the primary heating system for several buildings at the U.S. Research Station in Antarctica

Heat rises.
It keeps the floor warm, but as it rises, raises the temperature of the entire room.
It may not be toasty on the ceiling, but unless you're really, really tall, that shouldn't be an issue.
The heat should be fairly even through most of the space where you'll be living.

Use an electric heater in case you will be able to desire to maintain the temp above freezing. the ideal you're able to do is to maintain the rain out with a stable roof, insulate and seal up those drafts. in case you are able to't cope with to pay for warmth, yet you are able to cope with to pay for to place clean plastic over the residing house windows, which will help shop any warmth you do benefit in the process the day from leaving as at as quickly as at nighttime (residing house windows are notoriously undesirable WRT warmth-loss). Even drawing colorings and drapes is greater ideal than no longer something. Drafts might properly be caulked or taped over, or weatherstripping might properly be utilized on doorways and residing house windows which you nevertheless choose to be waiting to open.
