If they've chipped them while laying them, they have to be fixed with touch-up paint or replaced, and it's heaps easier to get them replaced while ...

Thanks @r_13 I am assuming that cost is just not only supply/install but also engineering needed to support powerfloor weight and thickness.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Looks like reverse cycle central system is the way to go which runs on electricity and covers both cooling and heating. I will go with the zoning.
