I also like the "silent mode" of the slab heat. You literally can hear a pin drop in our shop![/QUOTE]
I sure can agree with that. Originally, I was going with in-floor heat but changed my mind when it required being on all the time as it would take too long to come up to a desired temperature. So, instead I have a typical gas furnace so I could duct into a paint room. Too late to realize these are designed to live in a basement. Heating the shop is not a problem though I agree with others that warm feet is an advantage. The irony is I keep it on all the time to 50 degrees (of course I turn it up when working in there). When the blower kicks on, you can't hear music, etc. If you turn it up then it's too loud when the blower shuts off. I suppose there are worse things to deal with............
