But seriously, it’s an established solution. You don’t need to cool the floor down so much because the area is so big, so you don’t run into condensation issues.
You’d only be adding a floor heating system to a room you’d be at very least tearing the floor out of for renovation anyway. So in terms of invasiveness, it’ll only slightly prolong the work that’s being done, and create some dust from cutting slots for the piping.
In rooms that aren’t due for such a renovation, you can use existing radiators with a heat pump, too. Of course it won’t be as efficient as with floor or wall heating, but it will work. As with everything, perfect is the enemy of good enough.
That’s why you do it gently ;).

Adding that to a house sounds even more invasive than duct work
But they said they’d use the existing underfloor system, so there’s no need for invasive work.
