Things guys for the info, those electrical charges seems pretty reasonable, I love working with lacquer and having sawdust, lacquer and open flame in the same building terrifies me. 10 years ago my wife and I took a vacation to Banff Canada and this was the first time I experienced radiant...

Forgot to mention that I'm going with instant hot water heater. I called eco-smart and talk to their tech guy, he recommended eco-smart 18 for my size of the shop. Since this is going to be a close loop, what kind of antifreeze should I use? Thanks
