    I am looking into retrofitting a home circa 1930s with a underfloor joist hydronic system. I plan on doing only one floor that is ~ 900 square feet with 2 zones. Gas is not an option where I live so it would need to have an electric boiler. That being said I have several questions. 1) Are there any trusted web sites to get package deals? 2) Are there any recommended electric boilers that fit my needs (that wont break the bank)?

    Information

    Just a piece of info for you. The Pro's here are not going to send you to an internet peddler and you have no way provided enough information to give you any advice. I will say though that Uponor does make a radiant ready electric boiler. Suggest you find a professional to assist you in the design phase before you purchase any material. How are you going to know how many btu/hr you need? How are you going to calculate the needed water temp for the radiant to overcome the heat loss?
