Do radiant heating panels lower your heating bill?
There are many factors that can be used to help lower your heating bill, with radient heating being one of them. This answer may depend however, on how well the insulation factors in the home are, where the radient floor panels are to be installed, and perhaps even the climate that you will be using them.
In order to heat a room evenly should heating vents be placed near the floor or near the ceiling of the room?
It would be better to place the heating vent near the floor because the heat will travel up and down, so that way the room would be heated evenly. If you place it near the ceiling, the heat would not heat the floor that well, since the heating vent sucks back in the heat
How does radiant heating work?
Radiant heating works by transferring heat directly from a warm surface to objects and people in a room. This can be done through electric resistance heating, hydronic heating (using hot water circulated in pipes), or radiant panels. The heat radiates outwards, warming up the surrounding area without the need for forced air or ductwork.

Which is best for arthritis patient either granite flooring or tile flooring?
In terms of the type of tile (granite or manufactured porcelain or ceramic tile), I doubt it matters either tile or granite - both are very hard. Either way, it's probably best to install some type of radiant heating system under the flooring; otherwise it will be cold. Radiant floor heating can help to maintain a more comfortable room temperature, as well as keeping the floor warmer. If the patient will perform all maintenance on the floor as well, then tile is probably the better choice. Tile does not need to be sealed, although the grout will need regular maintenance and new sealer every few years. Granite, however, needs to be sealed over the entire surface to prevent stains.

How it works forced water heating system?
A boiler heats water to a safe heating temperature, often 180 degrees or so, and when a thermostat calls for heat, circulating pumps move the water from the boiler to the radiators where it heats the air surrounding the radiant surface, causing localized convective heating as well as some amount of conductive and radiant heat transfer. others have said: Stratification HEAT goes to the cold.
Can stomping on a floor cause cracks in the below ceiling?
Yes, stomping on a floor can cause cracks in the ceiling below, especially if the floor structure is not well-supported or if the building materials are already weakened. The impact from stomping generates vibrations and stress that can transfer through the floor and into the ceiling, potentially leading to cracks over time. This is more likely to occur in older buildings or those with existing structural issues. Regular maintenance and proper construction can help mitigate such damage.
