I have an oil boiler and am planning to upgrade to gas. I also wanted to update to a radiant head scenario.<\/p>\n
Question 1. I installed a new plywood subfloor over the existing wide board plank subfloor, and have access to the floor joists underneath. Will this affect the efficiency of radiant heat and will it affect the choice of wood floor finish? (I’m concerned about warping, but probably using either bamboo or laminate)<\/p>\n
Question 2. If I am going to a full radiant systems, would the conversion be to a boiler or a gas fired water heater since the temperature requirments would be substantially less for the radiant system? <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have an oil boiler and am planning to upgrade to gas.
