Hello all,

I've been reading up on electric in-floor radiant heat. I see there are
several manufacturers and distributors out there, and various types.

My question is.. why couldn't one just get a supply of nicrome wire and
construct their own system? I know you'd have to deal with temp/voltage
control and those basic things, but it seems to me it'd be cheaper to go
this route.

The only unknown that does come to mind(since I'm no EE) is what kind of
electrical field would be generated. I've seen some systems that claim they
emit no electrical field of any kind.

Thanks for any input!

Tim
