How do the installation costs of floor, ceiling, and wall heating systems compare, and what factors influence these costs?

Floor heating is often the most economical option (€30-€115/m²), while ceiling and wall installations are more expensive (€40-€90/m² and €75-€250/m² respectively). Retrofitting existing buildings is more costly than new construction integration. Government subsidies of up to 70% are available for installations during heating system replacements.
