Since some areas of my floor are not feasable to install radiant, I am looking to finish some areas with baseboards. Id like to plumb it all in series so that I can still heat with temps as low as 100 or so. I realize it may take more baseboard that I want to use, but I need to learn more about double pipe(?) boards and where to purchase them at a fair price.
I am thinking it is possible to start the water at the baseboards as this is the hottest, and finish the run through the under floor radiant. It looks like I would have 2 circuits of 300' 1/2 pex, and two 8x5 rooms and a 12 x 18 room that will need baseboards. I know I need a heat loss calculation to be more accurate, but I'd like to start by looking at the common supply store for prices if those of you can provide some good sites to check out and what to look for.
