When it comes to heating systems, I recognize the best option is radiant flooring… With a forced air system, you are going to encounter some issues.
With air heating, it correctly goes through HVAC duct which means dust is involved; Unless you are on it with HVAC duct cleaning,the air quality is usually packed full of dust, dirt plus hair. Another con of air heating is that the heated air tends to rise towards the ceiling. Then you have cold spots through the apartment plus need to up the thermostat in order to guess warmer, furnaces plus fireplaces also require quite a bit of care. Since dust gets inside the system too, it is easy for them to overheat, and regular maintenance plus repairs comes hand in hand with a forced air system. To avoid all those issues I chose to do my whole lake house in radiant flooring. I got a boiler system plus localed it in my basement, but next I had piping attached to the boiler system where tepid water flows through the pipes. The pipes are really installed within my new floorboards, but every space, corner plus edge gets equal heating because of the upgrade, heating with water means that it is quiet, efficient plus much cleaner. Also, everything that is touching the new floors guess warmer as a result. The couch, chairs plus rugs all guess heated because of it. There is heating repair required on this system, however it is just a yearly check up. That is the only thing that heated flooring really needs.
