If they ever come up with a way to put radiant heating in a mobile home, I will definitely look into it. It will ever only depend on how much it costs.

I don't much like our radiant heating, which was installed throughout our house. I find that if I am sitting down after turning on the heat after an hour or so, when I stand up the room close to the ceiling is stifling, and it's still cold farther down. We bought space heaters and like those better.

You might think about investing in ceiling fans. They can be reversed in the summer and winter to move the heat in the direction you want it to go. It might be something to think about.

Good idea! I have had overhead fans in other houses, but not with radiant heat. I like having them for the summer, but I never thought about them for any use in the cold weather. Thx!
