I'm in the process of remodeling my home. I've been giving thought to what type of heating to use. I will be doing some extensive work and not much of the old will remain.

I have several alternatives that I'm looking at radiant floor heating, electric heat pump with gas furnace, geothermal heat pump and solar panels to supplement electric or gas heat.

I would welcome other ideas, thoughts, pros, cons, etc. keep in mind this for my personal residence and I intend to stay here for quite some time. I can be enticed to visit other parts of the country and the world, but plan on coming back here. :D

I'll check these out. I have time to consider what I'll be using. I'm considering initial cost, potential energy savings over the life of the product and ease of maintenance.

Shawn, that was one of my considerations. I also understand that it is possible to use it for heating hot water. I had heat pumps in the past. In Seattle they work out well because we generally have a moderate winter.

I may want to supplement with some solar panels as well. Hmmmm.

Jarrett, did you use Pex for this? My neighbor has this and really likes it. He said it can take awhile to heat the house but it stays nice an warm.
