Remember that's the amount of BTu's per hour needed to maintain the required temp. will give you the size of the heating plant. That's correct the amount of BTu's per sq. Sorry this is so long, but hope it helps. Or for a garage, a friend of mine just used a water heater and that works too, just not as efficient. It seems like they tend to push the electric boilers, but they do have gas as well. Like I said, I just called them, and they were very helpful, and faxed me a quote the same day. They are VERY helpful! Their website is but it's a pretty crappy website. I just called and told them what I wanted to do, and they ran all the calcs and told me exactly what I would need, and sent me a quote with all the parts/boiler size/tubing requirements/prices. No way I could afford that, but then my neighbor told me about Energy Products.

I got several quotes from HVAC places to install the hydronic heat system for me, and they were all over $4000. One thing I may be able to help on, is where I got my stuff. Sorry, no comparison yet, but next winter I should be able to compare my cost to his. I think it was over $2000 if I remember correctly (large lots, long ways to nearest transformer or whatever). For me, running separate service to my shop was pretty expensive. I got all the stuff for my system from the same place, but I will be going with a gas boiler. He wanted to hook it up off-peak, but they wouldn't let him unless he has a backup heat source, even though it's not a living space (this is in Ramsey, Centerpoint Energy). He keeps it heated all winter, and he said his electric bill was over $100 during the cold months (he has separate service & meter at his shop). My neighbor put up a shop 2 years ago, and he used the in-floor hydronic heat, with an electric boiler. Well, this won't be alot of help because I'm not done yet, but take it for what it's worth.
