    Would you or someone else be performing the work ? By box rad , you mean coil within an air handler ?

    unit is being installed in an Earth-Sheltered home with very small load swings. Biggest load is probably DHW.

    Used contractor feature and nothing with in 100 miles came up. What type of info do you need on the house? It is a passive solar earth-shelter. with south east facing glass. 40 X 44 foot dome completely covered. Installing Bosch Greenstar ZBR 28 3A. Current system uses zone valve to prioritize DHW over heat call. It has been suggested that I go to eliminating zone valve and use 2 zone pumps instead. DHW tank is 30 gal. and sits adjacent to boiler. Air handler is just above boiler on second floor. Will contact you if interested.

    That individual is a Bosch factory rep. I questioned going from one pump to 3 myself ,but have not got an answer, other than it will make wiring easier.
