Compared to conventional heating systems, radiant heating may be more efficient and therefore may save us money over time, if not now. The setup costs tend to be higher than for a furnace or boiler, particularly if you're trying to install the system in an existing house, rather than a new build. But once the system is installed, it tends to run on less energy, heating the same square footage and often at a lower cost. As with any heating system, your actual savings will vary based on what you pay for the energy you're using (natural gas, electricity, etc.), the size and shape of your house, how well it's insulated, and the weather in Blue Diamond, Nevada.
