I have heard of folks using an electic water heater to run in-floor
heating.  Don't know how economical that would be.

Heating horror story:  A private school here in Saint Paul had its own
ice arena.  The Zamboni propane tank was leaking.  When the pilotless
water heater kicked on, BOOM.

Now the hot water for the restrooms comes from the main building. 
Pretty weird.  When you wash your hands in tempered water, you are using
water from two different accounts at the same time.
