Thanks for your reply.....but it's a lot more than that.... And I have a thermostat on the UTH. I'm afraid that this old farm house will be drafty no matter where she is, and I can't check temps and humidity every few hours. Our old house was new, so it wasn't a problem. Our new one was built is 1839 [emoji79]

Been in your shoes, and your right, there's nothing you can do that doesn't involve major renovations. I stayed in a house for 3 years that started life in the early 1850s as a stagecoach stop, and we would need propane at least once a month. Also had to run electric space heaters because some rooms wouldn't get out of the 50s otherwise.

What size radiant heat panel did you go with? I'm from NJ as well and have contemplated on going that route but not sure what size to go with.
