Heating System – Radiant In-Floor Comfort (Garage Included)
The home features a premium radiant in-floor heating system throughout—including the garage—powered by a high-efficiency Navien wall-mounted tankless combo unit. This system provides both heat and domestic hot water for the entire home, automatically adjusting flame output based on outdoor temperatures for maximum comfort and efficiency. The home is divided into three independent heating zones:

  • Main House
  • Primary Suite Wing
  • Garage

This zoning allows each area to be controlled separately for personalized comfort and greater energy savings.

Cooling & Supplemental Heat – Fujitsu Mini-Split System
For cooling and shoulder-season comfort, a Fujitsu 24k BTU mini-split system delivers whisper-quiet climate control to two modern ceiling cassette units—a much more attractive and discreet alternative to traditional wall-mounted mini-splits.

Energy Source & Efficiency
The Navien operates on LP gas and electric, delivering both radiant heat and on-demand hot water. The entire property—including the bath house—averages only 400–500 gallons of LP per year, while heating and supplying unlimited hot water to over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space. This level of performance is exceptionally efficient and a major long-term cost advantage for the next owner.
