Need Wallies' help -- BIG TIME

John R. Hall

I've asked my friends here for favors from time to time and I'd like to tap your brains again. I am responsible for assembling articles for two upcoming "focus" issues of The ACH&R News. The first is Oct. 14th and the topic is Radiant Heat. The second is Nov. 11 and the topic is Hydronic Heating Products/Boilers.

I usually try to write two of the articles myself by interviewing sources. I also like to ask writers to contribute a bylined article, too. I like to feature stories on new products, selling tips, installation/service tips, etc. I think these topics are right up the alleys of many of you.

Can you suggest story ideas? I have one for Radiant Heat. I'd like to do a point/counterpoint on Radiant versus Forced Air. I'd develop the questions and put them to one spokesperson for both sides (we would need your mugshot, too, in a menacing, argumentative pose). I am open to any and all suggestions.

Maybe I can get some response by bringing this back to the top. Thursday is usually a better day to respond anyway.

Sorry John..........

Not much of a story on the radiant vs. forced air IMHO.


Forced air is cheaper to install and you can use the same duct system to blow hot and cold air out of. It doesn't really heat anything, just the air that gives the illusioon of being warm.

There, how's them for fight'n words.
