Basically I’m planning my home build, and I’m looking for resources or maybe advice from people knowledgeable in home heating and plumbing.
My property has electricity but it does not have natural gas. I live in a very cold climate zone.
I’m wanting to use copper coils around my wood stove/exhaust, and either feed that into a water or sand battery to store the extra heat from the stove.
The sand or water battery is just a large vessel of mass that’s heavily insulated, I want to heat it to about 200 f maybe? If water is mixed with glycol.
Then I would run another loop from the in floor/radiant heat through the thermal battery to heat up the floor.
Any thoughts? Think this is just over complicating things?
