Hot Water System FAQ:


The house is a quad level with the fireplace on level 2. Our heat bills are high so I need to do something. I could either put in the pellet stove insert in the fireplace or put a pellet stove in the basement and try to attach it to my hot water heat system. Is it possible to put the pellet stove in the garage? I just don’t know anything about this stuff. What about the cost - should I be able to stay under 3000$? Could this thing heat my water heater?

It is a forced hot water baseboard propane system. It is presently off. This is a valve needed to add water to the system as needed and it has a small drip at the back valve. When it was running in the zone for the upstairs, you could hear the water running in the lines, so is the water is not replenishing the furnace? Is the valve blocked? We just changed our water line pipes at pump where the water comes into the house. There was a leak near the pipes coming from our holding tank. They were full of a rusty substance, so we took out all that was not copper and replaced it. Now we have awesome water preasure.
