“Free” heating

hydronic heating with overflow tank at right

pex tubes on chimney before cob is applied

In our basement, we wanted to have infloor heating but could not afford to lose any ceiling height. We decided instead to experiment… we’ve hooked up pex tubes to our water heater and wrapped it around the bottom of the chimney. Built like a traditional infloor system, it will be covered with cob. The cob is going on the pex tubes soon. Once done I’ll post the costs.
