General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Craned her in....
« on: September 16, 2010, 06:39:05 PM »
Back in May, I started looking at an OWB's to heat my new shop, studio, home and domestic hot water. I found a guy from Vancouver who bought a Greenwood Aspen 175 in January from a dealer in Seattle and proceeded to install it on his property without first checking his local bylaws. The municipality said that he could not install unless the boiler was a minimum 50' from all property lines and his home. No way to do it, so he put it in storage. He finally sold the property and therefor the boiler came up for sale.
He paid $12700 with 3 heat exchangers and a furnace coil. He wanted $7700 for the boiler and I chiseled him down to $5800 for all of it but had to drive 12 hours to pick it up. Smokin deal.
I currently heat my home with a large Jotul airtight which does a great job, but I am really looking forward to no more mess and no more splitting.
So today I had the Aspen craned into it's final resting place to be hooked up tomorrow.

I will install 1/2" recycled rubber floor tiles to stop heat transfer from the in floor heat next to my cold room.

Up here in Alberta the spray foam application has been used for years in the oil and gas industry. I've seen excavated 12" high pressure gas line below water table in muskeg areas look like new after 10 years. That's what gave me the idea to spray my hydronic lines. The new soy/plastic application is far more superior than what was used before 2005. I paid $2300 for for about 300' of lines and my walls and ceiling of my 8'x 12' cold room. (two trips)
Mind you, that was my price.

Hello everyone,
Building a new 30' x 54' two story shop and studio.... and had my 1.5" pex lines insulated and backfilled today. I insulated with 1/2" rubber foam then sprayed with soy based 3lbs spray foam to R36. This evening I found this site and was reading here that the lines shouldn't be spray foamed and that it will eventually become saturated with ground water. I was assured by the company who sprays this all the time that it will NOT absorb water and he waterproof with this product all the time. The installer seemed to know what he was doing.
What's up. Waste of money?
