do you finally admit that wet ch systems beat warm air hands down


Having had SWMBO complaining about the slow warm up of the wet system

this
morning with the freezing foggy conditions, I remember the warm air

system
was much quicker to respond, and it was a smaller capacity too.


That's easily addressed by having a thermostat with learning
capability which will start the heating a little earlier if it's very
cold.


If you are in and out many times a day, you can use warm air like a big
heater and just switch it off as you go out, and on when you get in. It
warms up within a few minutes.

Warm air in high thermal mass house works brilliantly. The mass gives out
stored heat when out and a zippo warm up when you get in. A rather even
temperature.
