O.K. guys. I live in old old farm house not insulated good. I redone the heating and air in it a few yrs ago. spent a bunch of money. I have propane furnaces for backup. Primary heat is a Taylor OWB on 3 diff loops in the house, set up on 3 diff. thermostats.
I am going to build a new house in a couple yrs. The house will be a 2 story house with a basement approx. 3600 sf. I am thinking radiant heat with an OWB. Can the radiant heat be ran in the upper floors or only in the basement. How hard is to regulate your temp in the house with radiant heat. I now very little about it. Is there a good source on designing radiant heat systems.
Also open to other suggestions here as well. Lots of sharp people on this board. This well be the only house I ever build and I want it done right. Was also thinking of running the radiant heat out in my drive way as well for an ice melter.
