As I understand it the self contained thermal fluid hydronic baseboards are not more efficient than regular baseboards because 100% of the energy is converted to heat in both. Some folks think they are more effective because they can release heat for a longer period of time, even when off, due to increased mass. Would you think that fact alone justifies the increased cost over regular baseboards?
What are some thoughts about retofitting electric in-floor heat mats under tile or engineered flooring. I presume that's a much higher cost but what are some other advantages/drawbacks of in-floor over just a good quality electric baseboard whether it's a regular electric or thermal fluid hydronic.
thanks,
