Hi Steve,
Here are a couple (compressed .jpg) pictures I took last night after we installed the PEX tubing in the garage. Today the basement walls were poured with concrete, tomorrow hopefully the garage floor will be.
Thank you again for the support and help. Putting the tubing down went well. The City inspector approved it and said the layout was one of the best he has seen yet....
(two days later) Thanks for the Heads-up on all!!
I did receive the advanced shipping info. And have informed (the delivery addressee). The concrete crew poured the garage floor today. The basement floor will be a big project for my wife and I. The excavator will have to dump 36 Yards of sand over the 8' walls that we will have to hand level before putting foam and PEX down on. The good thing is the sand is easy to work with. I will send you pictures of the progress.

Fred,
I have some firmed up consumption now on our Trinity T150. The days in this period were low to mid-30's, some in the mid to high 20's. Nights ran anywhere from the single digits to the low 20's, mostly in the middle teens. It appears that we have used 120 gallons over the period of 30 days, or about 30 gallons a week at a set temperature of 69.
Plenty comfortable in the house, and the heat is much more even...no hot-cold-hot stuff anymore! This propane consumption is less than half what our Slant Fin boiler was using!!!
My huge shop building customer who is heating not only that building but his house as well (with a T200), has averaged about 75 gallons a week since commissioning November 25. Total sq. ft is around 6500, over 3X the size of my house. He runs the shop at 60 degrees, the house at 66. The buildings are 110' apart. No complaints from anyone! Just thought you'd like to know!

Hi,
Earlier this year we finished our custom built dream home here in Mount Vernon, WA. We spent months researching the best products for our home and decided to use www.RadiantDirect.com for our radiant heat system. I am writing to let you know that the combination of our hot water radiant heat system, energy efficient windows, and Corbond insulation has created a wonderfully comfortable and energy efficient home. Most days, our heat only comes on twice in 24 hours. Because we think that other people will want to know what we learned in building our dream home, we are just finishing a book about the entire process. In our book, we have featured pictures of our RadiantDirect system being installed by us. And we devoted an entire chapter as to why we chose radiant heat and RadiantDirect.

The Radiant Direct package was everything advertised; complete and easy to install. I was impressed by the quality of the components, especially the Polaris boiler (Tip: before constructing the drain connections out of PVC, look behind the access panel) The instructions were complete, and what few questions I had were thoroughly answered by Radiant Direct. All in all I'm very happy with my radiant heating system and I would recommend the Radiant Direct package to anyone who has ever changed a faucet.

Fred, Rob, Steve,
My radiant floor installation is 80% complete. The system is up & running and had no problems except a tiny drip in a sweat joint on the DHW line. (easily fixed).
We still have 75 degree weather here so haven't given the system the acid test but I feel confident it will do fine. Still have 3 or 4 more loops to install on the second floor but have some remodeling to do first. Those will be baseboard radiators. That will come next spring.
I want to thank you folks for all your help and patience through this process. I know that NTI threw you some curves with their Trinity configuration. You handled it gracefully and walked me through the changes.
You have a first rate company from sales to service. I have enjoyed the experience. If I can sell some of these packages for you-I will (I'd even help with the installation).
Thanks again and continued success.
I love the system and after the longest and coldest winter I can remember...the only place I wanted to be is home. The comfort and warmth of our home is outstanding and I would have paid a king ransom for the comfort but did not have too.

Hi Fred,
The relays worked, that was all I needed. The system is back working great again.
I thought I would tell you that many people have come to my house to see my heating system and feel how it works. They all think it is great until they come to build a new house, then the local contractors inform them that a system like that will never work, and talks them into a system that costs much more. I can't believe how people are so closed minded about a system that is so simple and works so great. Thanks again

Radiant Direct is the greatest thing ever to come to heating. The simplicity of the design is easier than one could imagine. The packages include everything needed for installation and all materials are top of the line. The idea of spending $16,000 for the same system from another company was ridiculous (UNINSTALLED). I hear constantly about people spending 20k to 35k uninstalled for their systems. And these high priced systems sometimes don't have the same quality components. Radiant Directs packages are very through and explain everything and if you do run into questions, their staff is excellent. I highly recommend these system, there is no need to spend four or five times the amount for the same thing else where.

I'm building a new home and working with RadiantDirect has been the most pleasant and profitable experience I have had with any supplier or sub-contractor. I talked with them before I purchased anything and they spent at least 30 minutes answering my questions and providing additional information about my specific application. In fact, they saved me a good deal of money by suggesting that I could achieve my goals with much less equipment than I had anticipated.
I ordered a 94% efficient package and it arrived within two days. All materials promised were delivered and everything was in excellent condition. The installation was accomplished in minimum time without outside help and the system works exactly as advertised.
I am currently expanding the system to another building and RadiantDirect has been most helpful in providing assistance and the right materials to complete the task.
I could not be more pleased with RadiantDirect. The equipment is top quality and the advice has been invaluable. Add to that, fast delivery and reasonable cost and you have a company that earns your respect and repeat business.

As we were planning our new home, I did a lot of research on conventional heat, radiant heat, and on the different companies offering radiant systems. I also checked with local contractors for information on the heating system in our new home. We decided to use radiant heat for all the benefits it offers. A search on the internet turned up RadiantDirect. The amount of helpful information on the RadiantDirect website, along with my conversations with Fred sold me on the value in this system. The equipment arrived as promised and included everything we needed to install our system. All questions I had about installation were answered promptly and with a smile by Radiant Direct and staff. The customer service is as valuable as the product. We are so impressed with the efficiency of the boiler and it's hot water supply for domestic use. No comparison to a conventional hot water heater. And the comfort provided to heat our home is excellent. Visitors can't believe how cozy and consistent the heat is. I will highly recommend RadiantDirect to everyone that asks about our system. The product and service is unmatched.

I can't say enough good words about Radiant Direct. The value is the best in the marketplace. We researched radiant systems prior to choosing Radiant Direct and the lowest price was over $20,000.00 for our project. Radiant Direct did it for under $5,000 with better quality materials. The instructions and installation were easily done by my wife and I. Any questions we had were immediately answered by the fantastic customer service we received directly from the owner of the company. The system has also turned out to be very, very efficient and wonderful to have. I would highly recommend Radiant Direct for your radiant heat needs.
