Electric Radiant Heat is pretty expensive to run depending on your climate and your electricity cost.

Electric resistance heat is expensive and less efficient than other types of heating such as natural gas but if you go with a boiler based water based Radiant Heat system then it will be less expensive to run since the radiant heating would be operating off the hot water from the boiler that would be heating your hot water and the rest of your home anyway.
