Panel Radiators 2014

[Sawyer]

A few years ago Heaterman recommended Hydronicalternatives panel radiators for low water temperature heat emitters. I also looked at Myson panel radiators.

Are panel radiators from www.hydronicalternatives.com still the best choice today? or have other brands entered the field that are as good or better? I am looking to heat a room with 135-140 degree water supply. (Radiant under 6.75" plank hardwood flooring seems too risky) I am aware that I will have to oversize to reach my goal.

I picked up a myson radiator from Houseneeds.com a couple of month ago and installed it in a bedroom (for 180 dollars I got a 15"x63", saved on shipping by picking up). Works really well. I use supply temps of about 120-130 and just oversize it by a factor of 2.5 or 3. I probably could of gotten away with a factor of 2. I am very happy with them. The hydronicalternatives look all most identical to the myson.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me blackdoglabradore. I will look up the Hydronicalternatives tomorrow over coffee.

Did you do a heat loss calculation on the bedroom before purchasing?
