I am in the process of converting a double garage on the lower floor of my house to two rooms. The garage was heated by a single fan heater connected to the boiler on its own circuit. My Idea is to use this curcuit to heat the 2 rooms. There isnt much wall space on outside walls for baseboard heat. (as in the rest of the house) So I thought or radiators. I have to run lines in a false ceiling and then into the walls. Can i use plastic line?? As doing this in copper will be a nightmare.
Also how can I find how large a radiator i need for the size of the room?
Is this conversion even possible?
Thanks for any info
Phil
