I am in the final archectural stages of designing my new home. I hope to start building in April. I will be building a 2000 ft2 ranch with a full finished 2000 ft2 basement. I want to put in wood burning system (probably dual fuel) and run radient infloor heating throughout. This house will have 3 bedrooms up and 2 bedrooms down. There will also be full plumbing in the basement. There will be a large utility room in the basement.
The question is, if you were going to build the ideal system, what attributes would you include? What would be your suggested brands and why? If you happen to know approximate costs, please share.
Some of my particulars:
Probably want gassification system
Expect in-concrete floor heating in basement (2-3 zones)
I have 30 acres of woods at my disposal
I have room for an indoor unit
Current blueprints show door from outside into garage and then directly into utility room in basement.
Plenty of room for water storage
Propane available but not natural gas
Please share with me your best ideas.
