This book addresses small, single-zone, residential, and personal use radiant floor heating installations for the DIY market as well as professionals. This book is written for those who are looking for the simple rather than the complex. Those who are a bit adventurous, and willing to take some risk; a step back in time before digital controls, computers, and sophisticated electro-mechanical devices were developed to try and control natural events. A time when a few degrees of temperature swing in a system was not looked upon as a monumental failure.The barrier to entry in this market has historically been one of price. Consumers are drawn to the advantages of radiant floor heat, but more often than not, put off by the upfront cost. For years there have been efforts to sell radiant systems on a return-on-investment basis, saying that the energy savings over time will return the cost of installation. True or not, most consumers don't find that a compelling enough argument, and walk away disappointed. This book demonstrates that a radiant floor heating system can be within reach for those willing to invest a little effort.
