My wife and I are about to purchase a condo in Vancouver as a 2nd home, possibly a future 1st home. It is a concrete building. The heating is an air based, ceiling based system. This is OK in my opinion for A/C as cold air falls, but warm air rises .. so my concern is that my head is warm but my feet will be cold.
Many condos in Vancouver are 2nd homes, so it could be that my neighbor below is away and his heat is off.
Thus my concern is that the floor might be too cold !
Is this a rational concern ?
Would you advise to install heated floors (at a substantial extra cost .. now or after move-in) ?
Would you advise to not install lime stone floors, but carpet or hardwood ?
Do you live in a concrete condo and can share some experiences / issues ?
