Comment on Baseboard Hot Water Heating Systems by Jack H. Shilts

“This Old House” in its last episode, talked about a baseboard how water heating system control where a control thermostat was placed outside of the house so that a comparison could be made between the outside temperature and that inside the house. This would then control the maximum temperature that the boiler would reach, thereby reducing the amount of fuel that would be needed to heat the home.
I am interested to know if you have such a device and what the installed cost would be. They claimed that it could save as much as 10% of ones fuel costs.

I got this question from a potential customer. He wants to know if it feasible to tie-in to his radiant baseboard loop directly with solar, BUT not the whole system. Just the loop for the basement radiator. NOT the other zones. And if any heat is leftover in the solar storage tank after heating this one zone than it would go for DHW. So here’s my question. I was thinking of using a duel coil tank. One of course would be for the solar loop. The other heat exchanger tied directly into the basement radiator. Is that feasible? I guess a kind of injection? I don’t have all the details and I am not even close to having this figured out. It just got drop on me. I am trying to figure out if I can pull this off, directly from the solar tank through the heat exchanger. So if anybody knows these answers I would appreciate the input or if anyone wants to do some head scratching with me great. Fun exercise anyways. Thanks Michael

Hi, this is an interesting post. You might be interested to know that standards of cleanliness for duct systems are being introduced around the world. Just now the European Union is developing measurable standards for which critically will include ‘dirtiness’ (i.e. when to clean) as well as the more familiar cleanliness/verification in prEN 15780 ‘Ductwork Cleanliness’
