+ in-floor?????......WOW!!!

That was my response. Forced air was not the best thing to heat with here. The shop has 12' ceilings and 10' in the living quarters with a 16' peaked in the living/kitchen space. I could put a 1200 sg. ft. house in there with ease.

Chez.....make sure there are Dielectric unions in the water lines. Just do it.

Water lines to and from the heater are PVC.

forced air with in-floor will make the in-floor work it's ass off!!!....all the air moving won't let the heat from the floor get to th T-stat's and the floor will over shoot.......i see wild temp swings in there.....

Yeah. The forced air is A/C only. He will have fans up high to get some circ. but no winter forced air.

Fun part, either the furnace or part of a door frame and wall have to come out to get to the heater.

Good news is, looks like the door/wall part was removed to install the heater, and they left it relatively easy to do again.

CM, how bad is it to swap out a draft inducer motor on a Payne furnace? It's whiny and I'd like to go ahead and do it while the WH is out of the way.

Is it do it myself-able?

 

[Birds Away]

Morning, Snap.

 

[maansmit]

Morning all. I really wish I had been smart enough to schedule this week off as vacation. I do not want to be here this morning (although I say that most mornings). Such is life.

Not really a hard thing to do. Getting the part might be. I can get it for you but need info.
