    Yeah everything is. Lasts 50+ years which, IDK if you’ve ever had a furnace replacement, but they’re not cheap and easy especially if it’s tucked somewhere weird.

      50+ years? I have yet to see one last more than about 10 before needing to be replaced or fixed. Most often just shut off and go back to traditional heating. Our new-to-us home is about 25 years old and the previous owner said most of the in floor heating was already shot when they bought it 12 years ago.

        Our house is over 40 years old and has under-floor heating since the beginning. It’s still working like a charm. We connected our heatpump a few years ago, it’s working like it always has. The same with my parents house: 40 years old under-floor heating, still working without flaws.
