This is helpful. Garage is detached, hence no drain. The leach tank is an interesting idea. How to get the water there without freezing?

Thanks for reposting. I've stated twice now my intention to neutralize. Do you have suggestions for handling it short of the tens of thousands a real drain will cost?

I think there was poor (or no) communication between the estimator who wrote the bid and the worker(s) who were sent to execute; unfortunately because the job was done later then scheduled I was out of town so I got to see the open trench and the "finished" project. I was VERY clear with the...

Boiler installed yesterday. Not impressed with installer as they left a mess, didn't add the fan loop requested, and don't have a plan for condensate. For now the drain goes to a catch I put in to collect snowmelt off vehicles; it isn't a drain so I'm looking for solutions. They say out through...

What was the final solution? I'm in a similar pickle.

Should that post be added to #1 in this thread too? PS - I've found your work to be very helpful in my own planning. I hope the check back in a month or two to say how great my lighting solution is working. THANK YOU!

Why a larger line? I had my pressure upped for free. Love my tankless.

On the contractor's schedule for late October. I'm sure they are hoping the ground isn't frozen yet.

I asked for an open loop so I can add a fan coil later if I want. Condensate cannot be dumped, message received.

Navien. I have one of their tankless units and it's been flawless.

Got another bid today. $4800 for condensing boiler installed. Seems reasonable and it's the company I'd rather take my business to anyway.

Unless I go with a wood/coal fired stove a power outage has the same consequence regardless of gas or electric heating. The fluid pump needs to run to make it work and I'm not going to crank it. I did get buried line from the pole so if the power is out it's not just me.

"Go gas" means to seek the gas option vigorously. She is against raising the electric bill if possible. My apologies if that was not clear. She well understands the cost of electric heat. It was one of our modes when we lived in Alaska (ouch).

I'll get another quote on gas. Wife says go gas....

I like the fan coil suggestion - good idea. Is it permissible by "code" to drain condensate onto ground? This is an in-town location.

Boiler for 900sq' garage, in-floor radiant system. 24'x38'X10', foamed 2" on walls with bats to R24 total - 3" in rafter with cellulose over to meet code, also R24 total. I did the tubes in the concrete and R10 insulation under slab and perimeter. 2 overhead doors - 18' and 9'. Completely...

I'm in the process of adding a garage. I have 200 amps in house and want another 200 in garage. Easiest is to do 400A at garage and sub to house. POCO is charging $444 to bury line from pole to garage (all of 16'). They will do overhead feed for free, but then I'm paying electrician to make a...

Many folks in Minneapolis use them. ND is a bit cooler, but this is supplemental so good for a large chunk of the seasons. Contemplating doing the same for my shop in Fargo.

Dang, that's a lot of tube for the sqft.
