We plan to have radiant heat throughout the new house. Since radiant heat costs a lot more upfront than forced air system, we try to trim cost wherever we can.

One thing comes to mind is the walk-in closet. It's about 150 sqf, and open to master bathroom which has radiant heat tubes below tile floor. Do you think I can skip expanding the heat to the closet? I don't have the final bid yet, but figure it's probably in the $2K-$3K range. I can have very inexpensive carpet instead of engineered wood, plus the labor on trying to arrange the heating tubes into a corner.

If I don't do it, would my clothes risk getting moist? Any other concerns?
