I lived in a house that had a hundred gallon hot water tank and the house was heated by running hot water thru copper pipes in the concrete floor. The place was built as military houseing back during WWII. It was very efficient and kept the house uniformly warm and we had almost no dust. Proble developed when the pipes started leaking and water started coming up thru the floor. We had to move. They came in with jackhammers and dug up the floor. Looked like a road project. I think repairing the heat was more expensive than the house was worth. Seems that there is a dark cloud to every silver lining.

ribit, In the early '60s, one of our neighbors had something like that. The basement level in the house was flush with the garage. He had a couple of rooms down there that were finished and he had some kind of heating system in the floor. I don't know how it worked, whether it was a water system. We had baseboard heating that was a closed-loop water system, I think.

Guess innovation's alive and well. Let's hope someone stumbles on something to save us from ourselves.
