A Boiler Room is required to run a hydronic radiant heat system. A 17"x12"x7" Control Unit is required to run low voltage radiant heat system.

Gypsum or concrete slab is required for installing a hydronic system. It is estimated that it costs approx. $4.00 or more per square foot to install a hydronic in-floor heating system than it does to install a in-floor heating system.

The ZMesh heating element is installed directly under floor surface without any floor buildup. The 12" wide ZMesh is rolled out over area to be heated then nailed and/or stapled to wood subfloor.

Electric radiant heat warms your floors evenly because it uses 100% of system's energy. A hydronic system, however, heats floor less further away hot water gets from boiler (see illustration below). Hydronic systems use only 65-85% of system's energy. At higher elevations, electric radiant heat still is 100% efficient, where as hydronic systems are even less effective than at sea level.

*you need to build trust & credibility with thorough knowledge of your business and with straight forward talk about realistic expectations

*don't over-sell or indulge in hype as many people are expecting this and it can be an immediate turn-off *send messages with at least one open-ended question that requires a response

*keep messages fairly brief, long winded messages that go on and on quite frequently will not be read

One other thing to keep in mind is that your messages may not even be reaching intended recipient and they have no opportunity to give you a reply. At end of your messages you might want to ask recipient to send you a return email just saying "got it".

We all agree that spam is a very serious problem. These days, many email providers and ISPs have appointed themselves to be "information police" and are employing various schemes to try to recognize and block messages that constitute spam. Unfortunately, these mail filtering or blocking techniques are often very inaccurate and many messages that people actually want to receive are arbitrarily being sent off into ozone.

I have some first hand experience with this situation. Not long ago, ISP that my mother was using suddenly decided that she would not be allowed to receive messages from me! It took us a while to figure out what was going on, but once we did, that ISP was going to soon become history as far as my mother was concerned.

In final analysis, all you can do is give it your best shot. Some people will respond, some won't...and beat goes on. Remember, it's nothing personal, just human nature at work.
