I ended up talking to a local hvac guy about radiant, well hydronic radiant floor heat is what the system I will be using is called. Anyway he had put in a handful of these type systems and strongly advised against it, but he is local lol. But I have also been talking to a very helpful person with a large hvac and mechanical firm over the internet. They turned me on to THE textbook for learning about radiant heat and assured me that when designed and installed properly, nothing is better than radiant. After reading this book (almost done reading anyway), I believe them. They have also offered to help me with designing my system to make sure I do it right, for free! I'm estimating the system will costs me around 3k in parts, and countless hours and headaches getting it installed, but it should be awesome when its done. Besides that, still haven't been able to close on the property yet, some complicated snag on their end, but its getting worked out and hopefully be coming through soon. Waiting to hear from my architect friend on the plans, hopefully it will be soon, so I can get my heat design done as well. Also because of my new knowledge on radiant, I will probably be going with my tile and the rest of the house will be laminate wood flooring. Its cheap, strong, and thin, so why not, plus I've found some cool looking ones for under $1 a square foot.
