Hi Fred,

  Well, we have now gone through our second winter with our radiant heat system and it has been wonderful. Never having done anything like this before (installing radiant heat), your help was invaluable and made the project almost foolproof. I want to express my deepest thanks for all the help you were and the installation manual you provided is a masterpiece. All the illustrations and diagrams were easy to follow and showed me exactly what I needed to do to have a successful, working system without making any mistakes. I also must compliment you on the design you provided. It was very easy to follow and the tips and hints make it a much better system than the methods some of the other websites suggest. Your list of necessary components was exactly right-on and I didn't have to order anything extra and didn't order stuff that I didn't actually need. It all works together so well, to look at it, you would think that I knew what I was doing ... well I did, with your help. I am definitely pleased that I chose you and Radiant Design Institute to provide me with the expert knowledge so that my system would be a successful installation. Choosing someone else could have been a huge mistake and nothing but headaches.
  Thanks again for all you did and being there whenever I needed you. I will definitely recommend you and your company.

Jerry,   Colorado

Fred:
My wife want to build our retirement home; a ranch style home on a slab. I designed the floor plan and would prefer radiant heat, hydronic. Like many, we are on a budget and the radiant contractors in our area are in the $15,000 range for a 1600 sq. ft. home. I'm mechanically inclined and have several friends in the plumbing business who I'm sure would help me. I was impressed by your web site and would like to know how much it would cost to have you design our system. What information do I need to provide?
Respectfully, Steve

Looks like the minimum of $400.00 would do the complete design. Total equipment costs would be between $2,000.00 and $4,000.00 depending on the efficiency you choose. It only takes about three hours to install the tubing.

Thanks Fred. I really appreciate your quick response. I have never lived in a home with radiant heating (although hubby to be has) and am looking forward to it. Its too bad that more people don't realize how efficient and cozy warm floors can be. We did all our own work and it was so easy. Your website has been a great source. Thanks again! Michelle, Oregon
