We bought a house recently, it's about 30 years old. We never asked the previous owners how to use the heat, stupid yes I know! It has central air that was installed about 15 years ago, the vents are in the ceiling, duct work in the attic/crawlspace.
Now, the heat. There are thermostats in each room, but no convectors, only one in the foyer and one in a basement room. The appraisal says "radiant heat". We turned on the thermostat in the bathroom (on high) and still felt nothing. My husband checked the wires and it is drawing ampage for something! But what we have no idea. Also, our hot water heater is electric.
Can anyone tell me how this might work? What are we doing wrong?
