We've got a 3000 SF rustic contemporary in western MA, cathedral ceilings, lots of :dead: space.. Original builders tried to heat with in-wall electric blowers (!) then switched to a "woodstove" style gas heater. It does the job, barely, running 24/7 in a cold snap. Since there are no ducts in the house, traditional heating is not an option. Does anyone know of systems that might use small tubes or pipes that I could run in the corners of the rooms or along the baseboards, so that we could have some zone heating in this house? I've seen some ductless combination AC/heat systems, but the heat only works if it's above freezing outside - not an option out here. We already have ceiling fans, passive solar house ( mixed blessing) and insulated window blinds. Radiant heating a partial option on the first floor, but we're looking for something we can do in the whole place - Thanks for any help you can provide -
