Mainly because I put about 900 sqft of hardwood on our main floor.

It is a pretty easy DIY, depending on your experience. They even have a youtube video walking you through the installation.

The only "mod" I did was that for the water hookup, I installed a shutoff valve in an existing PEX line rather than use one of those crappy saddle valves.

Some complaints I have heard about these are the water usage. I just close the shutoff valve about halfway or more so that there is less wasted water.

It is a little unnerving cutting a massive hole in your main hot air furnace duct.
I put in a similar one and yeah, watch out for those metal ducts. I underestimated how sharp they are and almost needed stitches. Pretty simple DIY.
