Re: Hydronic system to be shut down within a year

Most likely I’m going with the now sealed gravity fed hot air heater system I have. I discovered a few years ago that the ductwork for it is still intact. When they switched to steam then hydronic heat, the heat registers were closed off in front.

So I think I’d get way more BTUs at the cost of regulating that heat more and having an indirect water tank.

I still like hydronic best but it’s a compromise with cost; the ductwork being intact and barely ever used means that’ll drive prices down.

I’d go for an ultra high efficiency furnace (gas).

But I await getting consultations with companies specialising in different things.

Re using the old ductwork also allows central AC to be installed.
