We have a typical one family brick Row House (18×45 with three floors: parlor, 2nd and 3rd with two rooms on each of the upper levels) with a hot water system. Is it better to keep the house as one zone or should we put the third floor on a separate zone? The third floor rooms will be used as a guest bedroom and the other a computer\/office room and eventually a kids room. So the primary living area as of now will be the parlor and 2nd floor.<\/p>\n
Also, do you feel that the big old cast iron radiators put out sufficient heat compared to a new baseboard cast iron radiator?<\/p>\n
Thank you very much for all your help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
