Note these comparative costs are based on ASHRAE melting energy and hours and do not necessarily represent the costs in any given installation. Capital cost is based on a typical hydronic industry estimate, excluding a boiler; and list prices for an MI electric heating system components, with a $2 / sq.ft. allowance for electric distribution.
