I'm curious as to what type of infloor systems you guys are using for heating your homes. What type and size of water heaters, pumps etc. and what to stay away from.
I want to heat 1600 sq feet.

I have a 40 gallon standard water heater running approx 500 sq/ft garage floor and 1,000 sq/ft in the basement. Works really good, it's about 10 years old now though and I'm going to replace with the new water heaters made specifically for glycol heating. Works well I'm happy with it.

Have on demand right now in the new place and not happy with it. Going to have someone come look at it and see if it can be retrofitted differently.

I have a Teledyne Laars boiler with a Amitrol 40 gal heat exchanger with a 40 gal pressure tank. Just replaced it all 1.5 months ago. I put back in exactly what was existing because the old system worked so well for 25 yrs. I only modified a bit of the piping with some more shut off valves so I can segregate each system from each other if there's ever another problem. I gathered all the parts for a few months and attacked it one night. Took me 12 hrs to completely gut and re-install everything with a break for snacks, of course. The Amitrol exchanger is expensive but is excellent. This makes my 2500 sq ft house very comfy. It's always been just a straight water system.
