My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

In slab, hydro floor heating system

14 years ago

I am considering using a low-flow circulating pump paired with a small, electric tankless heater to create a closed hydro heating system for the basement bathroom floor. I have 1/2" pex already in place in the slab. The pex was installed properly, with insulation and whatnot. Can this be done? Know of other options for this?
