Baseboard radiators – Runtal vs Myson

Flatfive | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

I am looking to buy some baseboard radiators (convectors, really). I see that the Myson ones are half the price of the Runtal ones. Does anyone have experience with either of these to help me choose? I am looking at 4 foot long and 6 foot long by 11 inch high units and powering them with a Takagi K-2 tankless heater that will also be the DHW source.

    No experience with their rads, but I have had occasion to replace the same Myson electric oil-filled towel warmer FOUR TIMES after each one developed a slow oil leak. We kept trying to make it work since we had roughed in for the thing and installed mounting brackets on tile. I would check with the radiant people on the Wall at heatinghelp.com and see what their opinions are.
