Hydronic heating of make up air? – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Hi there, Climate zone 7 here.

I’m building a 900qft house on a remote property. Off-grid, solar and propane powered. I’ll be using a mix of hydronic heating and wood stove to heat the house.

Because of the >/= 400 cfm range hood, and my gas dryer, and the lack of outside air kit to my wood stove (sits on a concrete slab in the middle of the room), I need a MUA kit.

However, it’s cold outside and I won’t have the electric horsepower to run an electric heater to heat the MUA. So I’m thinking I can connect a radiator to the MUA ducting and have it turn on at the same time as the MUA through creative use of switches and relays.

Has anyone done this? Does it work?

Thanks in advance!!
