it is certain that the fluid in your heating system is a mix of antifreeze and water a modern system should have this since it is more efficient and probably code in most areas.

Hopefully the fluid in your radiant system is a mixture that won’t freeze until it gets to -30 F in the ground. That is not likely to happen, but you need to make sure you have antifreeze in your system and not just plain water.

Here in MI the temp has been 0F–10F. This is normal for us. Even at these temps. Pipes inside the home will not freeze for 5 days or more. If you have an extended time without heat, a kerosene heater run a couple hours per day will prevent temps inside the house from freezing. I don’t know about floor heating pipes but I don’t think they would freeze any sooner than water pipes.

I WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT ANY THING. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER YOUR PEX LINES ARE INCASED IN CONCRETE THEY MAY GET A LITTLE COLD BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL FREEZE. AND IF THEY DO THE WONT BREAK.THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THEM TO EXPAND TO.

Living in New Mexico the whole state is without natural gas. There is a green mechanism that I unplugged because it was getting hot. I’m concerned that perhaps this is the recirculating pump and if the water is not circulating will the infloor pipes freeze?
