Overhead radiant heat is a good solution for a retrofit.
Heated floor is the way to go if you can get it installed before the slab goes in. Laying on a warm floor is nice. And no cold feet.

We have radiant in our warehouse at work, it's definitely the way to go. It is so much more efficient than forced air or oil Brunner style system. Your going to be very happy with your decision.

Yes it’s a natural gas unit. I did hire out the installation and I’m happy with their work. I don’t have a lift, so for now it’s not an issue. It is mounted 15’ 6” above the floor which is more than enough clearance for normal work. I’m just thrilled to have heat. It’s been a “Want” for a long time.
His pictures show a gas set-up. Super professional install IMHO.
Duh! I didn't even see the gas pipe.
In my defense I was looking at it on my phone so the pictures were the size of postage stamps.
