Can you feel the heat?

One of my many memories as a child is constant visits to one of my dad’s business associates. This guy was pretty well off and had a newly build house with everything a kid could ask for: a big playroom, a pool, a swing set and a games room with a pool table and an arcade machine. Oh, and a Terminator pinball machine too. But asides from all these memories of playing and having fun when we went there to visit on weekends, another thing that stuck with me was noticing how warm is house was during Winter. When I asked my dad how his house was so warm even though they weren’t using heaters he told me he had a heating system that circulated hot water under the floor. Probably in words I could easily understand.

 So it stuck with me how effective this form of heating was, and when it was my turn to build my house one of the things I was sure of right away was that I wanted water underfloor heating installed. And when I checked the overall installation prices and how much upkeep would cost, as well as the actual costs of running the system, I realized that this dream of mine was actually going to save me some money in the long run.
