I am looking to update my heating system in my home. *I live in a ranch house

I am thinking of installing an under cabinet toe kick heater(s) in my kitchen.

Should I just stay with the radiant in the ceiling? Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Radiant in ceiling, so its unheated above? That wastes a major portion
of your heat-money up and out. What you have on the first floor is
best, in floor. Are you running a low temp around 110f with pipe in
the floor as the radiator, the large cast iron radiators I have are
hardly warm at 110f, radiant in floor pipe operates at much lower
temps. I think a conversion will pay for itself over time. To bad you
cant consider floor radiant for the second floor, maybe there is a
way.
