I just moved into a house that I had to strip everything down to the subfloor. The natural gas company's original bid for installation of service of $200 before purchase went to $9000 after purchase. I have propane now. I have issues with propane other than the cost, which is bad enough. I had it before and in 3 years it doubled every year.

My question is, since I'm already down to the subfloor what if I put in electric floor heating in the main traffic public floors. Would the cost of the electric floor heat pay off?

Thank you

I forgot, my heating system now is only 3 years old.

Something is wrong with that picture.

You will have to do the calculations. Here is a simple calculator example. Many more are available by doing a search on Google. There is no true way to tell by guess work.
