Always get an estimate before you hire a contractor. Radiant floor heating can be a very expensive thing to have installed. You want to be sure that you will be able to handle the final cost of the project, so you need to get an estimate. It may actually be best if you get estimates from many different contractors. This will allow you to compare prices and shop around for a price that is more in your range.

You should always look for reviews of any contractor you consider hiring. These reviews can be found easily online through one of many review websites. You can also ask the contractor for references from previous clients. These references and reviews will tell you a lot about how the contractor acts while on the job.

You should write out a contract that explains every aspect of the project. The contract should talk about the scope of the work to be done, payment terms, time estimates, and work guarantees offered by the contractor. This will lay out every aspect of the project in very plain language so there is no chance for confusion or misunderstanding.
