the funny thing is, the gentleman that we bought the house from, did a major renovation to the home about 5 years ago, tons of upgrades, new cabinets, new flooring, garage add on 26x42ft to the existing double garage that was already attached. He literally spared no expense in doing the upgrade but he cheaped out on the most important thing, like the boiler and hot water system. Makes no sense to me.
so now I get to deal with it..  |
So your boiler right now is for heating? And you still have regular hot water tanks, right? for household purposes?
I dont know what system you will eventually end up with heating water for household purposes, but really, I would talk to someone who knows about radiant heating systems and get their opinion about running regular water through those lines. You can easily replace the boiler for a new modern and more efficient one. We have had to replace our boiler once in the 20 years that we have had radiant infloor heating. While you have that done, why not have that person drain the lines of water and put in that glycol stuff.
Then deal with the hot water for household use situation.
