Heating a Garage

Botamac
About 5 yrs. ago I was looking at way's to heat my garage.
I called a solar supplier/installer he told me he could keep my cement slab 80 deg. in the winter. Only problem was that I had already poured the floor.
Not sure of cost's but since you are putting in floor heat in, it may be worth exploring?
Good luck.

Yes, the type of system I am referring to is a solar panel
with antifreeze type liguid in your in floor radiant heat.
I understand the concrete slab will retain heat for sometime
for those cloudy days. I suppose a person could have a small back-up system. I was surprised to learn it would work here in Maine.

Heating a Garage

Sorry, thought I posted the company. I'm sure there are many.
It would take a little planning, but you could put all your anchor's in at the time of the pour. I would also take some pictures before pouring for future ref. I suppose you could take some measurments as well (to the pipes).One thing that is for sure Art, the price of sunshine.
Frank, I believe they use Peck(sp?) tubing, very rugged platic water line.
I would want to have a very compacted base with a 6 mil poly
laid in first, so the cement won't dry to fast. I would keep it wet for several day's as well. This should min. cracking.

Art,
If you are going to try to heat the floor with a liquid,
you may want to ask about a buried storage tank.
A friend has two 1000 gal tanks buried in stone hooked into his hot water system. He can let it shutdown for several days and still have all the heat he wants. Just a thought.
