Dale, You noted: "Although that sounds a little expensive to me it also sounds like you are getting a high quality system witch will probably not cost you anything further for a long time. Do we assume that he will be using the existing radiators and plumbing or is he intending to replace them with new?" Dale, the only thing is going to be new, If, I go with the brand complete new system as noted for the price. It will be The existing baseboard forced hot-water system in place now on the first floor and the second floor. What is going to be new is in the basement. That being two radiators to heat the basement and the zone and thermostat to control them. A hot-water 45 gallon tank for personal use and it's own zone and control. The new boiler and all that involves. Referring to replumbing it all from what it is now and the venting. Along with the testing of filling the lines with water and making sure all the air bubbles are out of the baseboard lines and that the thermostat in the first floor and second floor are working correctly. He noted that this unit is much smaller and that it will take up a lot less space and something about a panel with clear distinct markers on controls for the unit. Unlike the one that is here now. Exhaust box that is on the outside, that I remove the cover and oil the motor once every six months. Which, is a simple thing with the bottle you by and it's narrow nose that slides out of the bottle and insert into the two different holes. Anyway, the new system only would have PCV piping for vent and new air coming in from the outside. Hope I said, It all right. Once I get the document. Dale I'll forward it to you and you can take a look. I just got off the phone with my brother-in-law, that does plumbing and heating in the south. He knew what I was talking about, but, had no knowledge of this new European heating system. Though, knew they have been around for the last 6 years in the US, and, have heard good things about them. He too thought a lot of money and wondered if union and labor for the price, too. Geno 27, February at: 8:46 PM
