furnace [RE-wrenches]

[info at backwoodssolar.com]

I have recommended a simple tank type gas water heater for in-floor heating.
You avoid complex control systems, you avoid pumping water from and to a
tank during the heating of the water.  You use a small pump and line voltage
thermostat or thermostat and relay for each zone, not a large pump and zone
valves.  This works if installed right, and I am not an expert in this
installations or design.  I do know that many problems are avoided and these
simple systems have worked well.
