Does anyone have current information about baseboard covection heaters supplied by a water heater? The concept seems clean and simple but is it effective and economical? This site always is in touch with what's going on therefore is an invaluable information source for us try-it-yourselfers!

I thought of this idea but 140 degree water isn't hot enough to operate the heaters effectively.
You would have to at least double the amount of heaters if you want to try it.
I pesonally used a fan coil unit which works like the heater in a car for my central HVAC unit.
Fan forced solutions can work well off the water heater.
Radiant heat would also work well with low water temps.
