Hi,

I'm having a hydronic wall unit installed in my bathroom. The bathroom
is connected to the bedroom, has a NuHeat floor and a ceiling forced
air heater. So I''m learning that the bathroom is pretty warm as it is
an may not always need the hydronic wall unit.

How important from the energy saving point of view would be to be able
to shut if off? The unit is 2800 BTU. It will cost me about $300 to
put the shut off valve on. Do you think it would be worth it?

Thanks!

Sounds expensive if it is part of the installation. The valve itself is $10
or less. If it is part of a continuous loop and must be plumbed
differently, that is a more costly situation.

At 2800 Btu, it would take decades to save the $300 cost. The heat will go
into other rooms where it is needed so all is not lost.
