I am looking at radiant floor heating in a house I plan on building. I have looked at slabs (difficult to find someone that works well with quikcrete), like the Warmboard product but very expensive, and now just found this. What is the price comparison of Quick Trak? I plan on building in SE Wyoming.

How does this product compair in cost and performance to Warmboard? Warmboard is a structural sub floor and radiant panel in one.

Donna,
According to information on Uponor’s website, radiant heat can reduce your utility bill by 20% to 40%. There are several variables involved, however, including how your house is presently heated and the price you pay for utilities. Propane is usually the more expensive way to heat water for radiant heat, costing about 50% more than natural gas and 10% more than electricity. For more on calculating water heating costs see our article Choosing a Hot Water Heater.

How cost effective is the radiant heat?
When you use it with your hot water tank does it cost a considerable amount more. We have a gas hot water tank, propane, and everyone that I talk to about the radiant heat says, it will cost me alot more for the heat. I am over 60, with the hot air heat and there is the cooling down then the furnace comes on (sometimes 5 minutes after it shut off) and then it warms up again. Our house is a small (26×40) 10 yr old modular and we live in New York State, near the adirondacks.

Why was quik-trac used here instead of embedding the tubing in the slab? Installing the tubing directly in the slab would have been much more cost effective in this situation.
