Very close on the price! I worked for the company that builds those in SLC Utah.

In the kids bathrooms ~70 sqft ERV is sufficient. The room will have some steam for about 5 mins before ERV clears it completely. I never connected the boost feature. That might help. IN the mbath I added a 150 cfm Panasonic whisper quiet (highly recommended) because we have a steam shower. We...

We have two of dx200: http://www.ultimateair.com Since they run continuously they are piped in place of the exhaust fans. The return air goes to the bedrooms. Pretty unobtrusive 4" exhaust and supply ducts. The manual has schematic for stand alone ducting. It use two ECM fans to maintain...

location Westchester, NY. 20 Min north of NYC. Yes, three separate aC zones to cool then floor holds temperature during the day. I also have chilled water cooling coils on two standalone ERVs. Theoretically the radiant floor and the dehumidified air from ERVs should be able to cool and hold...

I have radiant heat/cooling in my house. It works well in some instances and not so well in others. If you have wooden floors it takes a day or two to start effectively cooling. Concrete or tile floors start cooling after 2-3 hours. Radiant cooling is best at keeping a room cool not at getting...

How do you build the pan? Folded copper with soldered seams or other metals?

Plenty of these levels in NY, all full price.

Simply plumbing .com has the parts you need. Usually at pretty reasonable pricing. It's Ferguson's internet site.

Purchased a used Unico Chiller that produces chilled water @ 50F. That water is pumped through the radiant heat tubes in the shop slab creating a radiant cooling system. Very effective, but humidity control is a must. I would like to get rid of the chiller and pump water directly from a stream...

Re: What is the proper 2" EPS foam for installation under 5" 32x60 shop slab? I did 2 layers of 1" Dow XPS (blue boards) in the basement and under the garage slab. Had the rest of the house spray foamed with closed cell. Spray foam (closed cell) will probably be the same or cheaper for under...

I have a little trouble following your train of thought. First, the issues reported were trivial and did not require service visits. Second, the pressure sensor issue was the subject of a Buderus service bulletin and should have been replaced by the installer. With respect to the bi-annual...

Every two years I pay $500 for a cleaning, combustion test and general check up. They always come up with a laundry list of things that "are likely" to break down. Since there are two authorized dealers that provide service in the area I let them change the rod and ignitor for $300 every two...

To the OP: I heat ~ 8000 sqft of radiant floors with a propane mod con. I had the system designed by a professional firm that specializes in radiant heat. System has 65 loops, 28 zones and is controlled by a Tekmar control system. My experience has been great. The Buderus boiler has been in...

Last house we took down was 1,500 sqft ranch w/ attached two car garage. It took 7 30 yard containers at $750-900 a piece. A better operator could have packed the containers more efficiently and saved at least 2 containers. A great operator would use a grapple or thumb attachment to shred...
