Hi
I have a home heated with electric base board heat. About 4/5 of the basement has finished drywall ceilings. Since I am also tall And for appearance, and mess, I am hesitant to put in a forced air furnace, due to the mess and ugly boxed in low duct work. There is a lot of wire in one area near the electric panel, then a support wall and then floor joists go 90 degrees the other direction.
I was told high velocity furnace could be fished down joist bays, hoping the insulation does not tear off. Also I was told high velocity furnaces are horribly noisy. I gather they may be costly. If the cost is high maybe I might be farther ahead to go hydronic hot water heat and with rad. Apparently hot water heat can work from oxygen free pex pipe. I would think pex pipe would be easy to fish and slip on insulated foam wrap as it is pulled.
Any thoughts. I live in Ontario, very near Michigan.
