that is what I was going to recomend, but I have a question about your radient heating.. it is in the celing to heat the floor above you right? if so it should be stapled in place directly to the floor above and not laying on the gyprock so you would be able to put a hole in the celing for a celing hook. a safe way to do it would be to get a drill bit the right size and turn it in with your hand only nice and slow. But if there is a way to see how it is installed first (a unfinnished room or such) that would be the best thing to do first.
at the same time if you want to get rid of the hangers all togeather you could just mount it directly to your hood and even inset it if you want to lower it and you should be fine.
