Hooray! Our wonderful hydronic heating system has been turned on! It works wonderful, and we love it. The floor downstairs is warm to the touch. The new Munchkin boiler does most or all the heating for the whole house. We can use the upstairs furnace or not. Currently, we are using the upstairs furnace to make it just a little warmer upstairs.
The 'Munchkin' (that is its brand name) boiler comes from Germany. It is remarkable quiet. No fans or blowers. And the three little pumps that drive it are so silent you have to touch them to see if they are on. Even standing next to the Muchkin, its hard to know if it is running unless you look at the light on the control panel. And it is very fun, for me, to trace all the complicated pipes and valves and sensors and all that cool stuff. You can definitely tell I'm a little geeky.
I can't wait to show it to all of you when you each come home.
Love, Papa
