I want to put a hydronic heater in my garage. It's right by my boiler setup so running the hot water pipes to it will be fairly easy. I was thinking about the ones that look like a box with vanes on the front, and have a rear mounted fan that use hot water for the heat source. I have an
oil fired boiler for heat in the home. I have no access here where I love for natural gas, and the price of propane here on Long Island is through the roof. It'll have to be tapped off my home heater unless you guys can think of another idea. By the way, we pay the second highest electric rates in the country, so electric heat is a no go as well. The 2 1/2 car attached garage is 25' by 25' with a 10 foot high ceiling, and has two insulated internal walls, the third outer wall is insulated, and it has a double width door that is steel and insulated in front. The ceiling is insulated and has rooms above it was well. Anyone here that can calculate what size heater I'll need regarding BTU's and ideas on the least expensive heater and supplier? All ideas are welcome, thanks!
