had to google it .. looks suspiciously like the slant fin electric boilers, which are good as electric boilers go .. by that i mean they're solidly built .. i have used argo relay boxes .. again solid

Why not an electric on demand water heater?

Have not purchased it. 6 months old. He's moving. Why not an electric on demand water heater?.......I believe not enough BTU output, and they we not designed for radiant heat, from what I have read. No expert here, but......That's what I believe. Thanks.

There are different type on demands out there. They have some that replace boilers. The issue with on demand is temp rise. With radiant, there is a lot less rise than for hot water.
Putting in a propane tank expand the options
