Underfloor heating,

This isn't the most efficient method, why do you think that
you should want it



Personally I'd want it because:

a) There's no radiators around the walls so more scope for arranging
furniture

b) I like warm floors on a cold winters morning :-)


Yup. Its not actually that much more expensive to run if you pay
attention to insulation.



You don't need this expensive form of heating if you do pay attention to
insulation and superinsulate the place.


Bull****. Requirements for fresh air mean that you need to have air
cahnges. Even with (expensive) heat exchangers, and ugly air ducts, it
still needs more. If you want to spend a ton of money on superinsulating
and overall energy efficient air ecahnage, and use up yet more precious
oil in the manufacture thereof, be my guest.
