Tankless For Baseboard?
I have seen Tankless Water Heaters for Radiant Floor systems hydro Air systems and domestic hot water, but is it possible to use them for Baseboard Heat? I can't see why not, but when I checked with the Supply House they came up blank.
Has anyone done this? Here is the background: Oil Burner will need to be replaced soon. I want to get off oil. I'm heating my house with wood and its working fine, even down to 7 degrees outside I am able to keep the house at 71 degrees inside. I only use the oil burner for the domestic hot water now and occasionally if we go away for a few days. So I know I can got to a tankless on demand for the DHW but I would still need something to supplement the Wood Stove when we are away. |

Re: Tankless For Baseboard?
The manufacturer usually frowns on rads due to the higher temps. 180 for copper finned or 140 for larger cast . They like the in floor and coils in airhandlers due to lower return water temps. But it does work in a pinch.
