FORCED AIR CONVERSION

in THE MAIN WALL
I am purchasing a new (to me) home that has an OLD forced air system n it. I do Forced air, but I really like radiant. I want to install a high efficiency boiler (I will be using the Dunkirk Q90) and want to put each level (4 level side split) as its own zone. This would be staple up to 3/4"plywood subfloor with laminate top, or berber carpetting. I will also use it for indirect domestic hot water. How would you pipe this? P/S with circulators? zone control valves? what tubing size and spacing between the joists? Want the best as it is for me and my family.(load to e calculated..looking for general info)
Looking for input. I know enough to know I want expert assistance in this. Looking forward to my first wethead instalation. Thank you in advance for any input.
Mike

    WHEW!!!!!!!!!


    Best bet would be to see if you can find a contractor that is willing to work on this with you.

    I've done a few jobs where that homeowner wanted to be involved in the system. They paid me to do a heat loss and design. They installed the tubing and paid me to inspect it.

    We did the boilers though.

    Try the "find a contractor" here and make some calls.

    Good luck and welcome to the RADIANT WORLD!
