We are currently doing a second story addition project on a house with a two year old mid efficiency boiler. Don't start me on that.
For the second floor heating we decided to go with forced air indirectly heated from the existing boiler. This will allow for the installation of a high SEER A/C unit for cooling of the entire house.
Rather that a generic air handler I specified a CLEAN AIR FURNACE by Lifebreath http://www.lifebreath.com/en/consumer/products/residential/caf/
This unit combines an air handler, circulator pump and HRV in one cabinet. We will also install a Bathroom Vent Kit (more about that in a later post).
The increased cost of the unit is somewhat offset by the elimination of individual bathroom fans.
The unit arrived today with the HVAC subcontractor and we set it in place. We will be installing it in a hall closet on the second floor. I'll keep you posted as to how it all goes.
