If the air thermostat was set too high it would kick on and the warm air temp would shut off the radiant even though the floor wasn't up to the right temp. If you need a quick hit of heat, turn up the both systems and then then turn the air down again after the chill is gone. The radaint will catch up in a while.
Thanks, I will try it. I may also just disconnect the air system and try just using the radiant heat and see if it will do the job. The room is very big and tall and has a lot of windows facing the lake. But it does have heat in the two rooms on either side so the radiant heat might be able to do the job once the floor is warmed up.
