When I moved into my Lowell, Massachusetts home I got kind of crazy with remodeling.
I immediately felt I had to modernize the home before I moved my stuff in.
The first thing I did was have the floors redone. I paid a ton of money to remove all the carpets and put down tile instead. I am so glad that a buddy of mine mentioned heated flooring. I live in Massachusetts. It is cold 90% of the time. Having a supplemental heater is never a dumb idea. I checked the home’s HVAC unit and saw it was over 15 years old. How long would it last? I could be potentially saving my butt with another heater. So I dumped even more money into that project to get heated flooring. Everyone said I was crazy but I was excited. Every space got new floors with a heating system underneath. I then painted, cleaned, and redid one bathroom. Because of the electric heated flooring I wasn’t able to redo the kitchen like I wanted. At first I thought I made a mistake. After one winter in Lowell, Massachusetts, I was so happy I did radiant heating. It is amazing having the heat at my feet. No heated air rises to the top and gets wasted. No noise, dust being stirred and anything that touches the system feels warm as a result. My cat certainly enjoys the heating system. I don’t cook that much, so the heated flooring was the better choice. My current HVAC is threatening to quit and I am not even worried.
