zestfiveLast week I called my local electric coop and left a message inquiring on the radiant floor heat. I've been considering installing it in one or two of my basement rooms. In Minnesota winter, I think it would: 1) make the room more useable 2) feel good 3) increase the value of the house 4) increase the saleability of the house
I have no idea of how much it will cost...I was kinda hoping less than $1000, yeah, I know keep dreaming...I'm cheap you know!
I called him again today on my way to the gym and did get a hold of him. They have three options, 1) using hot water tubing under cement ~ yeah, probably not 2) wire under thin layer of cement only used with tile flooring(added expense) aprox $2200 for my less than 300 sq ft room 3) easier to install (perhaps do it yourself) that would double cost and I could cover it with just about anything including carpet but double the option #2
Intially I thought, no way...although I'm aware they have financing options so I'm having him look into it. I believe that I'm going to be living here for at least 3 more years. I have no idea what my job outlook is but I expect that I should be okay to at least maintain minimal living levels even if I do have to change careers AGAIN.
So what do you think? Should I do it?
