Hello Everyone,
Avid reader of your forums, first time poster. I have gleaned lots of information from the forums and sincerely appreciate the knowledge contained herein.
I bought a late 1800's 1100 s.f. brick house. I have removed the rotten wood floors and joists and I am going to pour a polished concrete floor in which I will run tubing for radiant heat. I will over-insulate the the attic and the slab, put in new Marvin windows and doors, but the house will have no insulation on the exterior walls. as I want to keep the plastered brick. I plan to add 2 or 3 Mitsubishi mini-splits for cooling and to augment the radiant heat. And I might add a wood burning stove at a future date. I realize I will have have substantial heat loss. The house is located between Nashville and Chattanooga.
I have been reading for weeks about radiant heat (overwhelming) and I would be forever grateful if someone would tell me if the Thermolec B-6TMB would be a good choice for my application? It is a 240v, 6kw, 24,000 BTU unit. I will be upgrading to 200 amp service and will likely have an electric tank water heater for domestic use. The house will be all electric.
Many Thanks,
Russell
