Heating System (in house pipe lines to radiators)

Just wanted to give you at least a glimpse of what will be the heating system for our house. Obviously keeping a house warm in such an extreme climate is quite a job so much time and thought must go into the planning of the heating system. One of our previous posts was about the pipes that run from the house to the small building which will be our boiler room,our stove will be located in this boiler room. Below you can see the two lines (in and out) which run from the small building into the basement of our house. They are the smaller lines with the white pipe in the center of each of them. 


These lines will be connected to the heating system which includes a series of pipes running all through the house. A special fluid runs through the pipes and is heated by the stove back in the boiler room. We also will integrate a special pump into the system to help circulate the fluid through all of the pipes.

Lines coming down from the first floor into the basement.

Now we can show you what work is going into running the lines inside the house to each radiator.

David working on positioning the pipes in our bedroom and preparing them to connect to a radiator.

Due to the urgency of our need to move into the house as quickly as possible, we will initially use an electric heater to heat the fluid in the system. This will warm the house enough for us to be able to live in it and work in it during these coming weeks before winter arrives. As soon as we can, we will purchase the larger stove in which we will initially burn coal for heat. Pray for us as we work on getting the whole system ready to go; that it will flow smoothly and work efficiently!
