Hello all,
I have been looking around here on and off for a year or so and it seems you guys know what you are talking about.
I have a question for you. I am planning on installing a hw floor radiant heat in my 50's brick ranch.
1) First phase is about 1000sqft , original house. New windows, R-19+original insulation(R-13?) in attic, unsure of wall insulation.
2) Second phase will be about 400sqft in slab in basement, creating a master bedroom/bath down stairs. Walls 3/4 buried in soil will be isulated with 1" blue board and R-13 studded out and dry walled.
3) 3rd phase will be an additional 600sqft addition, above garage to be done in the future. Addition is there but heated with wood stove for now. Walls insulated with R-19 ceiling w/R-32, floors with R-19.
I know get a heat survey done.
Could anybody give a ballpark recomendation on boiler/heat source for me? I would like one to be big enough to include all three phases. They will all be done, just need the first phase done before winter this year.
I don't get to check the computer untill 9pm ,family life, so please be patient with me if I don't respond until late and only once a day.
Thank you in advance.
