radiant heat through hot water radiators? if you already have a boiler and the bath is on the 1st floor, you might be in business. if you dont, you canhave a pro use a hot water tank and a circulating pump. much cheaper . so other than the startup cost, its not a bad heat system.
Am just finishing the basics of converting 3 rooms & a bathroom to hydronic radiant, so I can share all the answers, or at least all I know.
Only a bathroom? Use electric radiant; much cheaper to install, and hydronic, even if you have a hot water heating system already installed, does not make economic sense.
