How much should a typical radiant floor heating system cost?
System costs will vary greatly depending on the installation requirements, control choices, and project size. Simple radiant heat systems in large slabs in temperate zones cost only slightly more than the alternatives. However, if you select the many options and features that radiant can offer your home, the first cost will be higher.
Does a radiant heat system cost less to operate than the alternatives?
Yes they do. The amount of savings will vary depending on the heat loss, how well the structure is built, how well the building is insulated and the electrical source being used. For the most part radiant floors will operate anywhere from 25% to 40% more efficiently that other forms of forced air heating.

How Many Amps?' This is GUARANTEED to be the first question from your electrician.
The correct answer to this GURANTEED first question your electrician is going to ask you, would depend on two factors: How many Watts, and whether 120 Volts or 240 Volts is used. Total Amperage (current) can easily be calculated from the formula
Formula:
P = V x I
Where:
P - power (Watts),
V - voltage (Volts),
I - current (Amps)
E.g. The system is made of several mats. Each is 100W, voltage is 120V, so Amperage is:
100W/120V = 0.83 Amp. FOR EACH MAT!
The total Amperage of the system is the sum of the individual components (mats). Two 100W mats = 1.66 Amp, Three 100W mats = 2.5 and so on…
