Heat: Myson Radiators & Phoenix Solar Hot Water




David and I decided to go with Myson hydronic radiators, fed by solar hot water using the Phoenix system, with a gas back-up if necessary. The white Myson radiator above is made in France and is the LST style -- that is, low surface temperature of 100 degrees F.  Better for kid's inquiring fingers than the warmer models.  Click here for the distributor we used for both Myson and the Phoenix, Hydronic Specialties Company.

Below is their standard color in white, but you can do custom colors and finishes too, as we are presently doing.


Myson also makes this bench (below), which is a great option if you are short on space in your mudroom or entry hall as we are.


Another great way to heat bathrooms is with a Myson hydronic towel warmer.  Comes in many finishes, including the one below.  


We just got the radiator back from the auto body place we used - painted the white radiator a brown/bronzey color that works with our cocoa walls in our bedroom.  We're thrilled with the result.

Myson Radiators are very nice but I tend to think they are a little to modern in style for myself. My wife and I had Pensotti Panel Radiators installed that I bought off of www.
HiTech
Heat.com
and had our plumber instal them. They are very clean and simple in desing, not to mention very efficient. They too can be painted at an autobody shop.
