I have an in floor radiant heat system using water that’s heated by a tankless water heater. However, there is also a PEX line running from the top of my main hot water heater/tank, which passes through a "Feed Water Pressure Regulator" with the arrow indicating the flow is toward the radiant system. This finally connects to the system just after the outlet from the tankless heater, after the circulator. Does anyone know what the purpose of this connection from the main household hot water tank would be?

Our house is 30 years old, and we can barely tolerate the electric baseboard heat. Radiant heat seems to be the best option. Can we convert the electric baseboard to electric radiant heat? Any forums or DIY info would be great! Thanks !
The house only has electric heat, and we don’t want to add gas eat to the equation at this point. Would electric radiant heat be a more efficient source of heat?
My boyfriend just had his bank accounts frozen for an IR audit. How long can they keep them frozen? The savings account is what he lives off of. He’s had to turn off his phones, his internet…has no fuel for heat. They’ve told him that he will need to go on government assistance; but, how long might this take? They are going back 5 years, which will include the time that he owned his business. Any help is appreciated.
The costs for two different kinds of heating systems for a three-bedroom home are given in the following table:
SystemCost to InstallOperating Cost/Year
Solar,7000
Electric,000,100
a. After how many years will total costs for solar heating and electric heating be the same?
b. What will be the cost at that time?
I’m an architecture student designing a dorm for the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY.
The school already has a geoexchange system that provides ground-temperature water to buildings. There is also a system that supplies buildings with steam. I’m attempting to implement in-floor radiant heating/cooling. I was wondering if there is a system that will convert steam to hot water, or use steam to heat the ground-temperature water that can then be fed through the floors. Any suggestions would be very helpful! Thanks!
