Does retrofitted electric radiant heating installed below the sub-floor comply with the building code?
I have seen radiant heat systems that can be installed between the floor joists below the sub floor, rather than the conventional method of installing them prior to installing your tile flooring. I inquired with one of the " conventional method" suppliers as to the " retrofit ability" of their system and was told that it would not meet Code if installed in that manner. Thoughts? btw I'm in Ontario.

Is it possible for radiant heating (heated floors) pipes to burst through the floor?
We have radiant heating heated floors all throughout my house. We have laminate, ceramic, Mohtashem carpeting in one of the bathrooms, and marble flooring. My mother says that if I turn the heat up more than ten degrees at a time, that the pipes will break through the floor. I have laminate wood flooring in my room, and beside my bed I notice that there's a little upward bulge between a few lines. I've never noticed it before. Could this be from turning up the heating too fast?
Trying to understand my radiant heat system?
I have an in floor radiant heat system using water that's heated by a tankless water heater. However, there is also a PEX line running from the top of my main hot water heater tank, which passes through a " Feed Water Pressure Regulator" with the arrow indicating the flow is toward the radiant system. This finally connects to the system just after the outlet from the tankless heater, after the circulator. Does anyone know what the purpose of this connection from the main household hot water tank would be?

Radiant heat wont stay hot?
I live in an older apartment complex building where the heat is through radiators. We have no control and no thermostat. The only control we have is to turn the knob on each radiator and the ones we want on are turned. However, Im hardly getting any heat at all. The radiator feels warm but its not putting out any heat. I dont know why. Ive never have radiant heat before. I will probably call my landlord eventually but I want to make sure its not something Im doing wrong. Can anyone explain how radiant heat works?
