Radiant heat works well for us. With cathedral ceilings and lots of windows, we are not looking to warm all the air space. The floor stays warm and the radiant effect extends about 6 feet above it. Just enough and all the furniture is warm too. We can leave the room thermostat at 66 and yet feel comfortable. In mid-winter, the floor gets to 80, which feels great on the feet.
