- I'm no expert on heating, but can't help wondering why forced-air is all the
- rage nowadays for central heating systems. Seems to me, a little pipe
- carrying hot water is a lot easier to find room for than a great big duct.
- And you can use baseboard heaters instead of cast-iron radiators if you want.
- If you're installing wood heat, you might want to look into wood-fired boilers,
- or dual-fuel wood/oil boilers. There are several manufacturers making these.
- Let me know if you want names, and I'll dig 'em up. Robert Enenkel
