Think about running the heat tonight

[Dave Dennison]

Joe, I agree 100 percent with you, No matter how balanced my warm air system is there are always cold spots and heat changes in the home. I do not have zone dampers so trying to get two floors comfortable is almost impossible.
With radiant it is a nice consistant heat that not only keeps you warm but heats very evenly. It is also very easy to zone areas when the design is done by somebody who knows what they are doing. There is no better heat in my opinion.

Up front to install radiant can get costly but in the end you will be so much happier. I think all new homes should have it. I happen to like Watts Radiant best but have installed other brands over the years.

If I built a new home I would have a Viesmann or Buderus Boiler with outdoor reset, an indirect storage tank, and radiant heat and yes a Riello Oil burner. My wife always wanted the radiant towel warmers I installed thru the years. Nothing like heating your bathroom and getting warm towels to boot..
