If radiant heat is on the ground floor it will be embedded in concrete, but you can also staple it beneath a subfloor, so that you will have heat to the floor above. The end result of this type of heating is the warmth you feel from head to toe and you won't be spreading dust and allergens around your home. Although radiant heating has its advantages, its quite costly, its about twice the cost of conventional heating systems. Typically you can save anywhere from 40 to 60 percent on radiant heating compared to a forced air furnace. The return on the system will be within three to five years. Radiant floor heating has an even warmth throughout your log home, and will worth considering.
