Combining a radiant floor and existing baseboard hydronic heating in same area, Possible?
I have an area, living room kitchen combo, and a bathroom the i need to heat. I could put baseboard back, but was looking to add radiant as the kitchen cabinets will take up wall space for baseboard. the living room portion is on slab, 12' x 22'. (can't put radiant there, existing slab), the kitchen 12' x 12; bathroom and laundry combo is 12' x 10'. Both are on joist, over plywood, a waiting a 1-1/4" mud job to level out with living room. this would be a opportunity to install radiant in the mud job for these areas. (kitchen and bath).
my question is it feasible to have a combo system of both baseboard and radiant operating together in the living room/kitchen area on the same thermostat? the bathroom could be on its own thermostat/zone.
all hot water would be provided by a oil-fired boiler. I have room to add to main manifold for the radiant supply portion.
and if it is, i'm open to suggestions on this setup.
