    Radiant In Floor Heat In Depth

    I have the Polaris 34 gallon 100,000 btu natual gas. It is heating my 2000 sq.ft. garage. The tag says 96.7% efficent. It will heat the water about 4 times faster that a normal water heater it is very impressive but expensive. I hope the high efficency will make the cost worth it.
