    UFH pipe brands and controls, any to avoid?

    Hello Just about to order a UFH system for our renovation and was hoping to check if there are any bad reports on any of the brands we're considering. Most of the quotes we have use either Heat Miser or Myson controls which seem pretty standard and reliable once configured and understood...
