I am installing radiant heat capability, can't do it later. Concrete is kinda permanent. I do not plan in using it right away. This is not my first radiant system. I helped my brother install one in his 2500 sqft 16' sidewall shop. He uses a 200,000 btu LP instant how water heater to heat the water. His water heater run at 50% or less of it's capacity when it is running, I suspect that I would only need about 35,000 btu's of hot water heat to very adequately heat my shop. But I have a wood furnace for heat. I do not work out there every day, so radiant heat would not be very efficient for me. All the insulation for the radiant should help keep the shop a lot warmer than outside even without any heat. In the future I may use the radiant, who knows. Todd
Todd, I notice from your workshop post your doing radaint heat, do you mind sharing some info on how you set it up and how well it works once you get it running. Is this your first radaint system? What are you using for hot water? Thanks, Troy
