Q: How long will it last?
PEX pipe will last as long as the structure. PEX pipe has been in use for over twenty years in Europe and life cycle testing has demonstrated that PEX can last in excess of seventy years. PEX is an inert material, virtually indestructible by common elements.Ioffer many pex products and all there warrenties vary.
Q: What happens if a pipe breaks?
In the event that a problem occurs.Comfy Floors has a repair coupling that is used to repair the damage. Damage is very rare, but when it happens it usually happens during installation. The tubing is still exposed and repairs are made quickly and easily.
Q: Can I air condition?

Q: How much does it cost?
Costs will vary by job and design. Most of the difference in cost from basic to deluxe is in the control options. A good example would be an eight room two story house, you could have two thermostats, one for each floor or eight thermostats one for each room. The cost will vary depending on the project. Cost per square foot can run from about $8.00 and up.
Q: Do I have to do the complete house?
No! Today many people choose to do the "tough to heat" rooms or areas. Good examples are basements, garages, high ceiling areas, bathrooms and other tile areas. Additionally, this strategy keeps the costs down and still gives you the comfort of radiant heating.
Q: What runs through the pipes?
Water! Most systems are designed to use water, but in some cases glycol is used. Glycol would be chosen if snowmelting was being done or for freeze protection.
Q: Does it heat up fast?
Radiant floor heating systems heat up and cool down slow resulting in very even heating. Once up to temperature the system will stay within one degree of the thermostats set point.
Q: What kind of boiler do I need?
Radiant systems can use a variety of boilers according to local code authorities.

Q:Is it for you?
Snow melting can be very convenient. What you must decide is if this convenience is justified by the installation and operating costs. One consideration is if you have the boiler capacity or space for a boiler with enough capacity for snow melting. Another consideration is the type of system. A manual on/off system is the cheapest, but you must turn it on yourself and there will be a warm-up period before the snow melts. A semiautomatic system will turn itself on and off automatically and keep the area at a set temperature regardless of the presence or absence of snow or ice. A fully automatic system is the most convenient since it is always running and can detect the presence of snow and ice, however this system is the most expensive.
Q: How much does it cost to operate?
It depends on the type of system you have, how much snow melting area there is and the weather. A fully automatic system is more expensive to operate than a manual or semiautomatic system because it is continuously running on standby. The more snow melting area you have and the more snow there is, the higher the operating cost.

A mixture of water and glycol would be used to prevent the pipes from freezing.

It depends on the type of system you have and the weather. A manual system where the homeowner must turn it on will heat up slowly. A semiautomatic system will take the same amount of time to heat as a manual system, but the system will detect when to turn itself on. A fully automatic system will heat up quite fast since it will be running on standby all the time.
