I put radiant heat in my new house and have been in for over a year. The key to radiant heat is "set it and forget it". I keep mine at 68 deg. fall, winter and spring and never have a problem with the system adjusting as you described. I have both tile and hardwood floors, along with cathedral ceilings and it is comfortable and consistant during the entire heating season. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
