I have a question for anyone who has any experience with in floor heat. Our tractor club put up a new building last summer with tubing in the floor for heat. Building is up, but heat is not hooked up yet. Which is more economical for heat source, hot water heater or a demand type heater? I know the system needs antifreeze in it, but will it make the cement more likely to crack if the heat is not used after filling system and start up? We haven't finished hooking up the system yet, some of the guys are saying it has to be heated or the cement will crack and possibly break the pipes, others say that it won't make any difference. We really don't want to pay for heat when we are not using the building, but we don't want to run the risk of the floor cracking and possibly breaking the tubing. Building is fairly well insulated, but the temps have been below 0 for the last week or so. What are your experieces? Thanks, Chris
