If the Radiant Heating system is an electrical radiant system then yes they do use a lot of electricity and are expensive to run.

There are Radiant Heating systems that run off of hot water from a boiler which would be running anyway to heat your home and water so those water based radiant flooring and radiant heating systems are much cheaper to run.
