[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 110289, member: 315"] generally speaking yes. But there are so many things that can come into play it's really hard to make a blanket statement. Just the cost of floor coverings can change it dramatically. And yes to your first question. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] basements are not tax free living space. they tax you on the sq. footage of finished living space. It all figures into your assessed value. Sq. footage is sq. footage in the eyes of the tax man. And they're so damn tax happy here now you can bet your going to get the onion. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] My personal opinion on in-floor heat in a home is it's a waste of money. You need forced air for A/C anyway. So why have both systems. The new furnaces are extremely efficient. If you want a warm floor put 1.5" foam under it. I've done that on every home I've built. It's amazing the difference. [/QUOTE]
