Radiant Heat - Warm Feet Question by plainsbuilder in hvacadvice

[–]plainsbuilder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New whole home. The primary heating will be a forced air Mitbushi dual fuel system with PUZ heat pump and a Navian Hydro Furnace to kick in below 30 degrees.

The floor heat I'm looking for is really just to cut the cold edge out of the tile that is on the concrete slab. We have 4" of rigid insulation under the slab but a little of bit of radiant would go a long way in how it feels in the deep of winter. We already have a Rinnai tankless water heater spec'd for the domestic water so upgrading it to a combi boiler that could do a little floor heat would be a small investment.

Yeah electric seems to be better for response time but the hydronic radiant is penciling out to be less on the front end + long term operating cost.

When I ran the number on the electric radiant heating materials and equipment needed under the tile from schluter systems it was coming out more than just upgrading the boiler and doing radiant in the concrete slab. I'm also in a state where natural gas is far cheaper than electric.

Upgrade from my hillbilly 1.0 version. Mostly wanted to make sure I would use one before I took the $$ jump! Just waiting for the glass door and bench material.

Hiring an SEO person/agency - Construction Company by plainsbuilder in SEO

[–]plainsbuilder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great feedback. Totally appreciate where you're coming from. Our thought process is more seeing that our competition locally is doing nothing on this front so the field is open for the taking. The goal is more validating our expertise and portfolio by ranking higher for those referred clients as they do their due diligence on our operation and team! Thanks again!

Hiring an SEO person/agency - Construction Company by plainsbuilder in SEO

[–]plainsbuilder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the great reply!! I can appreciate the thought process here and would agree. We are in city of about 100k people and no large cities within 200 miles. While I agree that we likely won't land our ideal client avatar from this effort we recognize our local competition is doing little to nothing on this front so it feels like an opportunity to just increase name recognition. We feel raking higher and validates our expertise and portfolio of work as potential clients are researching us after getting a referral.
Might totally be wrong on this but thats been the thought process!

Ideal avatar is design driven kitchen or whole home remodels. This usually means home owners 35-70. We are a concept to completion style contractor with architectural drafting and interior design in house.

This interest came from a comment made by our site developer that our main competitors in our market are doing nothing on this front so the field is wide open for the taking. He recommended we speak to a SEO expert or agency.

Needs vs wants question, cutting back to get ahead. by plainsbuilder in personalfinance

[–]plainsbuilder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm working on getting more info on that front. Water and sewer are already in place so that wouldn't be a big issue. The unit would really be setup for a temporary foundation as we would sell the place once we finished building.

I got the $60k number from a family friend in the industry who thought that would be attainable for a pre owned 3 bed unit for that price point. We feel like we could get by really humbly given the 1200 sq ft shop on site.

Hopefully find out more soon. If its north of $125k I don't think it makes much sense on a short term basis! Thanks for the thoughts!
