We had in floor radiant heat in our basement and baseboard radiators upstairs fired by a wood boiler and an oil furnace. Liked it ok until a chimney fire burned us down. Now we have a geothermal heat pump forced air and have abandoned the in floor heat. Only thing I didn't like about the in floor heat is we live on the west coast. We have huge temperature swings. When the outside temp changed it took a long time for that thermal mass to heat up or cool down. There were winter nights where we had doors and windows open trying to lose heat so we weren't sweating.
