Ransley, get your head out of your bottom part.

It is not so simple your baseboards are probably taking a much higher
water temp then the plastic radiant hoses can handle . A guess is
radiant will not take 140 but but your house baseboards and your present
water temp is set much higher say 160-190.

PEX tubing will take 140° water.

There may be some equipment
that can temper the radiant loop. .

There's a lot of equipment out there that will do that.


Then there is electric radiant to
see if that is worthwhile you have to know your price comparison of gas
to electric. Im in the midwest and my electric cost is 3x that of NG gas
per BTU. Radiant is best especialy if ceramic or stone will be use for
flooring or the basement is much cooler, but it depends on how you do
it.


Radiant can be put under any surface, wood, carpet, ceramic, marble, etc....


You need a real heating HVAC pro out to do a load calculation and all,
who has done this before. Not a contractor guessing, if it is not done
just right you will be very very unhappy.
