With this system you don’t have anything sizable in the way for heating, however the boiler sits in the basement plus the radiant furnace is under the floorboards.
I have looked into buying myself a boiler system, then i liked the thought of having a nice quality boiler for the Tuscaloosa winter. It is not like it gets severely cold with snow, ice, plus below cold temperatures, then however, it still gets cold plus I like that boilers are so adjustable. A boiler system is a tank of a furnace that lasts a super long time, and with a boiler you don’t need to give it much upkeep or love. With ongoing cleaning plus inspection a boiler can live fifty years. Another perk is a boiler can be hooked up to baseboards, radiator, or your home’s water. It can serve as a water heater, hydronic heater, snowmelt system, pool heater, plus so much more, then living in Tuscaloosa I don’t use all those functions. What I have spoiled myself with is having a hydronic heater. I love having heated flooring. With this system you don’t have anything sizable in the way for heating, however the boiler sits in the basement plus the radiant furnace is under the floorboards. It is silent when it heats, does not stir up dust, plus due to it being water based, you aren’t getting any forced heat rising to the ceiling, but nothing gets wasted or not used. A hydronic furnace is really superb for any type of weather. I do feel I added value to my home relying on a hydronic heater. The only con of the system is redoing the flooring after the upgrade, however my floors were outdated plus due for an substitute though.
