I see on average about a 16 dollar per month increase in the heating season, wood boiler is the way to go ,my friend has a wood boiler set up he does radiant in his 6000 sq ft house and 60 x 40 pole barn off same wood boiler. The major cost when doing radiant is the insulation board you need to put down under the pad before you pour ... it is quite expensive .
