I am redoing my master bath and am debating heated floors? Worth it or not?

Not worth it, and a potential source of condensation damage. Warm floor, cold air, high moisture environment......no thanks.

We have them and really like it. They are set on a schedule to run every morning and every night for a couple hours. Very nice for the cold Ohio mornings. I don't see any difference in our electric bill.

Are you on pier and beam? If so I'd say worth it. Tile gets cold af in winter. When I remodeled mine i regretted not putting them in.

I'm in Dallas - we redid our master bath earlier this year and added heated floors and they are amazing.

Set on a timer, zero condensation, very much worth it.

I did a lot of research on them so can answer any specific questions.

I did my master bath about 6 years ago. We don't get to use them very often but when we do, they are awesome.

House on the ground or crawl space.

I feel like if it’s on the ground it’s certainly not needed and unless you’re cold-natured would probably be a waste.

If off the ground and this is a long term house, no doubt put them. My last house was off the ground and the role was ice in the wintertime.

Assuming this is in south Louisiana.

I installed the Kerdi Heat stuff when I did the masterbath. No issues here.
