Yeah the older stuff might not be efficient but definitely out last anything new

Have you tore apart systems that ran glycol to see what it has done? The glycol I used in hydraulic may be different but it would eat seals in pumps. I have a back up source for heat as long as I don't lose natural gas I have ventless wall heater and natural gas torpedo heater even have a spare...

I should never be shutting it down. I've read how glycol takes up some of the heat and also wears out the system and if it's anything like the glycol I've work with in hydraulic systems it will eat and destroy everything eventually. So that makes me not want to use it but say system did go down...

Yeah definitely sounds smarter to just go with high efficiency one. I wasnt sure on the cast iron what temp you ran them so that sounds like a lot of work to make it work.

So I have another question when it comes to boilers and in floor heat. I like the idea of the wall mount high efficiency boilers but is there any benefits to the old cast iron style? I found a new-used cast iron boiler for 500 bucks I was thinking of getting it's only 84 efficiency. It bothers...

Okay thanks for answering questions about size of boiler so now I have a second question to run water or glycol? I have well water and I know it has a lot of calcium but think it's good other than that so didn't know if it would be okay or get distilled water. If I run glycol how would I have a...

Little late on the reply lol but this is exactly what I want I did find a local place that had it but it was industrial or something so cost a lot more than normal rib panels

My walls don't have a high r value cause it's only foam but they are completely sealed so feel like that's better

I forgot to mention it will be natural gas I have a well out back.. I thought 50 was pretty small so glad I asked. Would it be bad if I go bigger like 75-80 if I can't find a 50? Also do you think I need more insulation in my building it seems good but haven't gone through winter yet and the...

Hi so Im finally ready to install a system in my pole barn but looking for some help. My building is 40x48x14 2 in spray foam walls blow in the ceiling 1in foam under concrete. I do have lots of doors (2) 10x10 (1) 12x12 (1) 8x8 Seems insulated good it's been in as low as 40s in morning and...

so finally getting my pole building garage insulated its 40x48 over all and 40x16 has scissor truss and the 32x40 is normal truss 4ft center. The ceiling of the garage will be tin. So question is should i make the attic conditioned or not. Meaning spray the foam on the tin ceiling and vent the...

Also I like the idea of hanging air and electric on retractable was planning electric didn't think much about air though. Thanks

The pictures you cause are showing are same panels on outside of garage and them are easy to get and maybe what I go with but stuff I'm trying to find has bunch of ribs not any flat spots not sure name of it

That maybe what I'm looking for my trusses are 4ft center and getting blow insulation so does have to be think enough it doesn't sag

So I've seen some post here where people used the corrugated steel that looks chrome for walls and ceiling I would like to do this but my local steel dealer (eastern states) says it's way more money cause it's thicker and special order. I do see lowes sells it but I need 32 length and 16 I'm...

Okay so I got a "professional" out here and they are supposed to give me a quote but they didn't ask for size of building or anything I have 6 runs and they said they will size it off of that. Also it would be walk mount type. they did ask type of insulation and I'll be doing spray foam walls...

I'm un sure on btu calculations I've done some but worried they aren't right would rather someone who does them more often tell me

I've been reading up on this I have recently built a 40x48x14 poll building for a garage and had 6in concrete with 1 in insulation and all PEX ran wish I would have done more insulation but to late now So I'm debating on doing this system myself I am a industrial maintenance guy but haven't...

My pressure is set to kick off at 60 psi idk flow and everything in garage is half inch already so I didn't know how much of a difference it would make feeding it with a bigger line it's not burried yet so I'll probably jump it up but I still like the idea off running it through something...

So I'm running water to my garage and wondering what size is big enough the run is about 50 feet. I took 1in plastic poly line and put half inch pex in it my excavator recommend it says he repairs old lines so that should help protect it but I'm thinking 1/2 pex is to small? I have a well so...
