I've been trying to get the propane, hot-water-circulating system in my greenhouse fixed for the last few MONTHS. I've gone through many plumbers who have thrown their hands in the air and told me that the furnace/boiler system I had is no longer made and parts hard to come by. Two weeks ago one plumber just stopped returning calls. (We were about to have our first frost (zone 5-6) I finally had Sears come out and they gave me a $7,500 quote!!! I'm off to a show this week (warmish weather predicted) but when I come back I HAVE to find something.<br /><br />I'd love to know if you found out anything about heaters. Maybe we could talk?Kari Lønninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13672700685648322233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-74991289588211357212010-10-27T21:25:25.961-04:002010-10-27T21:25:25.961-04:00You lucky gal, Kylee!

It's 15 x 20 twinwall polycarbonate and partially sunk into the ground. We use radiant heat. Because we grow orchids, the humidity is rather high,and we were concerned about the shortened lifespan of a standard unit that would actually be in the greenhouse. So, the boiler is in the basement of our house and pipes run underground out to the greenhouse to two runs of baseboard radiators. It keeps the greenhouse nice and toasty during the winter (zone 6b). It is propane fired and runs off of the existing 500 gal. propane tank that the house uses for heat/hot water. I posted some pictures of its construction on facebook last week. My husband designed it and we built it with a lot of help from my father and father in law. I hope I get the link right- I haven't tried to link to FB before. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=255367&id=789632471Rachaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-26574383240553501222010-10-23T15:01:21.840-04:002010-10-23T15:01:21.840-04:00Congrats on the new project completed!
