Radiant heat questions
 
We are installing a new kitchen floor (ceramic or porcelain) and are
thinking of installing electric radiant heating underneath. The only
drwaback is the cost. Appreciate recommendations, experiences with
popular systems like WarmlyYours, FloorHeatech etc. Also, how much do
electrician costs average if they have to run a seperate circuit? Also,
is the choice of ceramic vs. porcelain material to heating
effectiveness?

Thanks a lot!

I wish. We just had an electrician here last week. $75 for the first hour,
$65 per hour thereafter. I guess this varies a lot by location.

And whether it's a union electrician, whether it's side work or
there's a company with fixed overhead and training expenses, involved,
the volume of work, time of season, etc.
