Hello gents, I am faced with the dire situation of having to replace my failing electric heat system. I was advised that I should look into having a higher efficiency system installed. But my small(ish) northern clime home cannot accommodate forced air ducting so it was suggested I think about the possibility of having a circulated hot water heating system installed.
I wonder if someone would be so kind as to briefly explain the pros and cons of this kind of heating system and if it can adequately keep a cold climate home warm in the coldest days of winter. BTW, it can get as cold as -30 degs. C for a week at a time and I tend to like keeping the inside of my house tropical throughout the winter.
I was also told that such a system could replace my aging hot water supply as well. Is it a good idea to have two different home systems supplied by a single piece of equipment?
