Quite an ugly job, same as the video. Not only plumbing looks a disaster, electrical and ducting, too. Just imagine a situation when something goes wrong, say, an electrical short. Who on Earth will then find the ends? What would be the price tag to fix and maintain this system? I would not be willing to be an owner of such a house...
hey what boiler is the one you guys have installed? and is only radiant heat zones? or any radiators. also wanted to ask a question i dont see anymixing valve for the radiant heat ! is the boiler already giving a lower temperature for those zones? do you have primary and secondary loop piping installed on the boiler? please answer! appreciate
beautifull work boys just beautifull. i used to bring the boilers down the steps with no shoes on in four feet of snow with one hand tied behind my back.
Interesting installation. I've a question or two if I may.
What is the BTU per square foot load for the house?
A 2 temperature system, radiators in the basement and radiant for the main floor, so what are the design temperatures for the two areas and how are they controlled?
What type/brand/model# control system did you use?
Did you use primary/secondary piping?
Why do you have such a big taco pump and why is it installed with the shaft in a vertical position?
104 000 BTU. Their's around 9 zones if I recall correctly. Each controlling a certain amount of loops, and theirs nothing wrong with the pumps being vertical, though their less prone to loosing their prime when horizontal. As long as theirs no air in the system. The system is also equiped with multiple automatic air bleeders to take air out of the system. The Taco pumps are sized accordingly to the water weight they are pushing.Boiler is in basement, and 2 big floors above to be heated. 3800sqft
Their was also the demand to have it placed in this area and with everything mounted on and beside a small wall, it was pretty crambed.. Space was really the issue here, otherwise everything would have been horizontal. This is a Buderus system, I am not sure of the model number. It was purchased from Digel Air. You could inquire with them about various models.
For sure.. The system works well. We had to go back once because one of the drywallers working for another company, was cutting the drywall for the ceiling, and they did not consider all the pipes mounted under the floor, and used a sawzall, which pretty much cut the whole Ipex in one area of the house. Fortunately it did not make a flood. The drywall employees were so sorry about it.. They all offered us money, which we rejected. It is common for other construction workers to lack consideration
This is funny to me.I can understand using more pex in systems these days due to cost of copper,but please, remember, just because pex is more forgiving than copper or iron, it doesn't mean that you can throw away your tape measure and level, and then call your system a professional installation.The homeowner will hear the bundle of distribution piping expand every day.What's up with the large Taco pump w/motor in vertical position. INSTALLATIONS LIKE THIS DAMAGE OUR TRADE!
Seems very complex. I find regular furnaces work great and keep a house comfortable.

@amy2x I agree, but it's one of those things you pay more for initially and save money in the long run through efficiency savings.
