I have an indoor coal boiler in my detahced garage and this is currently heating my home with a heat exchanger going into my forced air syem. it is really a very simple system.
My pipes run into my basement and acrossed the basement ceiling into the heat exchanger. The ceiling in my basement is NOT finished and i was thinking that I could possibly use the hot water that is returning to the boiler and run some pex between each floor joist and using a tempering valve to control the heat and possibly heat up the first floor floor. Which by the way, is a hardwood floor, if that matters.
What would be the easiest ( and cheapest ) way to take advantage of the heat in the return line? Is my plan even "Do-able" without spending a ton of money???
