The Heat Is On !!

Actually, the heat was on last Friday. The cast iron radiators in the old section of the house went on line right after Thanksgiving and in the addition the baseboard radiators and radiant floor heat were turned on last week. The only thing left to do is to install the cast iron radiator on the porch.

We removed two of the old radiators from the livingroom and will install one of these in the new room created when the second floor porch was enclosed. John and Jack cut the floor boards for the porch last weekend and John will nail down the floor as soon as the boards have dried out.

We had a new boiler installed by Haly Oil. Haly Oil also did all the connections and the baseboard radiators. The guys from Haly Oil were two of the nicest people we've had working on the project. Jim Bernhardt helped us select which boiler to install and did a great job managing the project. We are told we should save up to 40% on our oil bills, including heating the new addtion. By all accounts our old boiler was a peice of %#@*$&.

The Buderus Boiler is fabulous, we finally have a warm house....no more coats and hats in the familyroom!! In the addition, the radiant heat in the floor is amazing, I would put it everywhere if I could.

This may seem like a very long post about a boiler but believe me I've restrained myself.

The stone arch seen behind the boiler supports the fireplaces in the livingroom and Carrie's bedroom.
