South Dakota supply house

I'm a Chicago area radiant heating contractor and have a local client building a home in Hill City, South Dakota. They've asked me to design/install their radiant heating system. I've agreed and will be starting the first week in April.
Could anyone tell me if they know of a local supply house that inventories pex tubing and other misc. radiant products in that area? We usually use Uponor or Rehau tubing but am not opposed to other quality materials. I'll bring most everything out there myself but don't really want to haul 8000'ft. 1/2" tubing 950 miles. : )
Also, I'm looking for a "high end" electric boiler. Any recommendations on that? We use almost exclusively natural gas in the Chicago area.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

electric boilers


I don't know about the supply house but three very good electric boilers I'v used and had great success with are Electro; Slant Fin and Stiebel Eltron. The Electro and Slant Fin are ASME rated for hight temp but the Stiebel Eltron is only rated for low temp. I think a max of 120 or 125.

I can help you out.

I am the rep in SD for many radiant products. The tubing line we have is HeatLink. Check out our website
www.wiseenergysolutions.com I have a wholesaler in Rapid City, is that close?

Hill City

is between Rapid City and Custer, on US 16. Pretty close.

In SD, the daytime high might be 0 degrees. If you use radiant floors, you'll want to protect the system from freezing, which may occur in an extended power or fuel failure.

I think steam would be a great system in that area- the radiators and pipes drain dry when the system shuts off. So the potential for freezing damage is much less, and no glycol is needed.

Steam

To be honest with you, I'm not an expert on steam. I installed my first radiant system in 1982, so I'm going to stick with that for now. I intend on becoming more able in steam before I get too much older. Thanks for your help though.
