With the high demand for plumbers right now, it takes 6 weeks just to get an estimate. I can get this installed next week. Anybody here had infloor heating installed recently? What did it cost? Ballpark? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
What type of heat do you have in your house right now, hot water heating or forced air furnace? Assuming you have forced air heating (as the vast majority of people do) they will more than likely upgrade your water heater to a larger size and run your floor heat off that. The quote you got over the phone sounds reasonable, just beware of "over the phone quotes" you don't want to get nailed with extra costs associated with them not seeing the job first.
