I know.. I have a million questions these days. But the insulation info was really helpful! I have a house with an old baseboard heating system. I need a new furnace\/boiler. I need all new plumbing.<\/p>\n
I think I’m down to two choices:
\n1. Test baseboard system with air ($). If it passes (I’ve been told it looks good), keep system and incorporate indirect water heater.
2. Scrap all that and do forced hot air with tankless water heater and central air. This is about 50% more money.<\/p>
The only reasons I’m considering the baseboard system is (1) I’ve heard mixed messages about tankless water heater (“nothing else makes sense anymore” to “I don’t know anyone who is happy with it. You cant’ wash dishes and take a shower at the same time”). And the indirect heating system makes sense to me. And (2) I was told baseboard heat is a selling feature. Which I can’t believe, but go figure.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know.. I have a million questions these days.
