heating a small area

Roger G

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I was hoping to use a small electic hot water heater, a circulator pump, an in-line thermostat(120 volt) and baseboard to heat a small part of my basement. The area is no where near the boiler I have now and I was wondering if anyone has tried this before. If so what else would I need(expansion tank,
auto feed,......)

Thanks in advance
Roger

P.S. The area is a playroom for the kids and I can shut the system off when its not in use.

Why not just use electric baseboard? Operating costs per KWH would be virtually the same, and a lot less parts involved with running romex. Also each electric baseboard could have a thermostat for zoneing.

Any way to install radiant floors? Bt far a much nicer way to heat over a cold concrete slab. Zone it off the exisiting boiler??

turbonic space heaters( chill chaser)...

you can tie this in to your exsiting loop with mono-flow tees and when the up stairs calls it will heat up and the built in fan relay turns on the fan and blows like a little warm air furnace. or run it off a t-stat so you wont over heat the room - t-stst will let the blower come on only when the room needs heat if not the water just passes thru hope this helps ...
