🔥This video documents the process of heating a home with a wood boiler for the first time.
🏠The concrete floating slab is heated to prevent heaving and protect the plumbing.
⚡️A heat exchanger is used to heat the domestic water, providing hot water for household use.
🌡️The wood boiler is controlled by a thermostat, maintaining the desired temperature for the radiant heating system.
❄️The lack of insulation in the room requires frequent refueling of the wood boiler to maintain warmth.
How does the heat exchanger work to heat domestic water?
—The heat exchanger transfers heat from the wood boiler's glycol system to the domestic water system, heating the water for household use.
What is the purpose of heating the concrete floating slab?
—Heating the concrete floating slab prevents heaving and protects the plumbing installed underneath it.
How is the temperature of the wood boiler controlled?
—The wood boiler is controlled by a thermostat, ensuring that the desired temperature is maintained for the radiant heating system.
Why does the lack of insulation in the room require frequent refueling of the wood boiler?
—Without insulation, the room loses heat quickly, requiring more fuel in the wood boiler to maintain warmth.
Can the wood boiler switch to an electric backup if there is not enough heat?
—Yes, the wood boiler can switch to the electric portion of the hot water tank if there is not enough heat from the wood boiler.
