I made the mistake of not getting heated flooring when I first moved into my home.
My house had an old boiler system in the basement.
There was already piping hooked up to it and everything. To make matters worse the moment I moved into my home I decided to replace all the flooring. I ripped everything down to the bare studs, added magnet board and could have put down piping and connected it to my boiler. Then I would have experienced hydronic heating for my heating system. My husband convinced me not to. His point was that it doesn’t get cold in our area. It would have escalated our flooring price and the timeframe for installation. He just wanted the project done. So I let him talk me into just doing tile flooring and leaving the flooring alone. What do you know? I hate that my floors are always so cold. I have tons of throw rugs now due to the chill. I also hate that my boiler system isn’t used to its full potential. Our area is cold enough that heated flooring would be used most of the year. It is unfortunate that in order to get heated flooring you need to rip up your existing floors. After I redid my floors, I sealed my fate for around 15 years. Now I am stuck with cold tile floors and no heated flooring. I really wish my husband wouldn’t have talked me out of it. The worst part is that we did every floor in the house too. So every single room is chilly and not what I want. I will be waiting a long time before I get my ideal heating system.
