Hi guys, I have been lurking around and read quite a few posts here. I am hoping you guys can helpme decide on what to buy. I have a 1600 sq ft house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The bathroom, living room,kitchen and dining room will have radiant heating in cement with tile on top. the bedrooms have cast iron baseboard radiators (made by burnham)). I old oil heating steam system took a dump and I need to replace it. KEYSPAN has a deal that you get a boiler and tank for $899 if you convert. Problem is that the boiler is only 85% effecient. So here are my questions.
1-) should i get their boiler or pay a little more and get a much more effecient one like a weil-mclain ultra series?
2-)Do I need a tank?
3-) I have seen people use 1/2 inch pex, 5/8 or 3/4 for their floors. How do you know what size to use???
I trully appreciate any suggestions or comments. I only have one income coming in so my budget is around $6000. I already have the rads in the bedrooms.
thanks!!!!
