| Performance / efficiency | Even heat distribution: no heat loss | Heat losses experienced from the heat source to the loops |
| Installation | Quick and simple: can be done in a few hours by a single installer | Complicated: typically require many work days with the help of engineers and contractors |
| Maintenance | Zero maintenance | Yearly maintenance necessary |
| Warranty | Only one warranty as there is only one part: the cable | Different warranties from different manufacturers: different parts |
