I just got a bid to install pex in my house, garage, shop and woodshop. I'm curious how this compares to work that other have had done.
The following is a quote from the bid - in short, it includes 3,600 feet of pex (for 3,400 sq ft of slab), an electric boiler, all plumbing, low voltage wiring, 4 zones and labor. Does not include concrete or 240v electrical wiring.
Internet enabled thermostats are a $200 option, and I'd probably add one to the living space, so I can have a warm house when I return from vacation.
Thanks for taking a look. I'm curious about what I'm not seeing in the bid, and if I'm overlooking anything.
* Install a hydronic radiant floor heating system, heated by a stainless steel, modulating, electric boiler, in the lower floor only of an approximately 3,360 ft2 home & shop, consisting of the following components:
* Approximately 3,624 lineal feet of Uponor HePex Radiant tubing, 9" on center in the living space, and 12" on center in the shop/garage areas, tied to the rebar in the slab before the pour
* Approximately 15 Uponor cast brass manifold loops, in 2 locations, complete with all necessary hardware, and individual loop balancing valves for flow control management
* All distribution piping to manifold locations, and low voltage control wiring necessary for complete installation and control of system
State of Oregon Boiler package:
-Thermolec B-18UFFB-H stainless steel modulating electric boiler
-Primary/secondary piping distribution system with dual 3-speed Grundfos circulators
-System expansion tank, air and water purging assemblies, and all other required piping
-Low water cutout/pressure switch as additional required safety
Hydronic Controls package consisting of:
-4 individual heating zones, each with its own digital thermostat
-Taco 4-zone management station package
-Thermally actuated/motorized automatic valves, at manifold for each loop/zone as needed
