what type of heat should i go with

RoosterBoy

what would you recommend for me im having my buderus boiler installed with hydro air my new part of the house that needs to be heated is 24x24 with 4 3x3ft windows and 1 slider 6x6ft r19 in the wall and r19 in the attic should I go with under the floor or baseboard or ceiling heat
I cant run duct work on that side and im getting a boiler so I may as well make good use of it if I go baseboard I need low profile and I need to paint it a wood color

thanks

If still possible,

I'd opt for staple up for the new room.

Should be the cat's meow!

The classic answer...

"That depends."

This is an old question that has three dynamics.

One being the actual heat-load of the room being heated in relationship to the floor area and fllor "system," carpeting, and how the tubing is installed.

Second, the tube itself has some impact. We can get a lot more heat out of copper tubing than plastic or rubber.

Third is the cost of fuel vs. the cost of plates factor. Plates are expensive. Very expensive.

All three issues (and a few minor controls issues, etc.) are all inter-dependent on one another.

There is no "magic bullet" solution. There are many options and radiant is simply one. HWBB is always a very acceptable alternate IMHO.

Hope this helps.
