How to decide best type of insulation for basement?
Greetings from Mississauga, Ontario!
If it is construction Styrofoam it is a good insulator. Fill as best you can between the studwork and use spray foam to fill gaps. Then cover with drywall. Floor insulation and underfloor heating is a good way to keep the chill out.
Frozen pipes and only caused by cold and draughts.
Stay warm.

Why does the transformer get hot and burn up?
The only thing that would cause this is something in the circuit is pulling too much electricity through that transformer. So what is the transformer hooked to? Please post the make and model

Where is the battery door for pstsl21p52 proselect thermostat?
From the owner's manual:
- Open front thermostat door and open battery compartment door.
- Install two new "AA" alkaline batteries. Locate the positive (+) ends of the batteries and match them with the positive (+) terminals located in the battery compartment. Close battery compartment.
Going by the photo of the thermostat, it looks like there's a finger recess or latch on the right side of the thermostat that you pull on to swing the front open. If there is unexpected behavior from the thermostat after replacing the battery, see the reset procedure in the installation section of the manual.

What is the best boiler for heating and hot water in Europe for a flat?
Find a good local plumber and ask for his recommendation. He will know which ones he has installed and never had problems with and which ones are reliable.
The four makes recommended by Jake are well established. I had an oil fired Worcester down in Cornwall and it was good.

I would recommend a combi boiler from Ideal, Valiant, Baxi or Worcester. This article might help you out a little (spam)

How do i calibrate ct410a thermostat
I just bought several of the Honeywell CT410A electric baseboard thermostats. One was significantly out of calibration. There is no screw to calibrate the unit. With the cover removed, pull the large adjustment knob straight off. Be careful not to touch or put pressure on the metal thermostatic plate which would bend it. I found pulling evenly with two hands, from each side pops it off cleanly. It is tight and requires more force than it seems. With the knob off, note that there is a smaller toothed dial which the larger knob clips onto. Turning the toothed dial, presses or releases the thermostatic plate, which activates a switch beneath the plate. Turning the dial slightly, you can hear the switch activate/deactivate. Set the dial so the switch just deactivates. Check your room temperature with a thermometer, and replace the larger knob onto the dial at the same temperature as the room. You will need to put the cover with the temperature gradients back on and mark the small dial for a accurate calibration before replacing the large control knob.

Pelonis oil space heater, model HO - 0221. Power comes on. No heat. Thermostat was checked and resistance is very low.
Check the Power Connection:
Ensure that the heater is properly plugged in to a standard electrical outlet. If the outlet has tripped, reset it to restore power to the heater
.
Thermostat Fuse and Resistance:
You mentioned that the thermostat resistance is very low. This could be a sign of a faulty thermostat.
Replace the thermostat fuse if it's burnt out. Make sure to connect the wires tightly.
Use a multimeter to test the thermostat. It should read less than 1 ohm.
Safety Features:
The Pelonis HO-0221 includes safety features such as a thermal cut-off. If the heater overheats due to abnormal conditions, it will shut off automatically.
If the heater turns off unexpectedly, inspect and remove any objects near it. Allow it to cool before resuming normal operation.
Reset the Heater:
Sometimes a simple reset can resolve issues. Follow these steps:
Turn off the Pelonis Heater and unplug it from the power source.
Leave the heater unplugged for 15 minutes to cool down completely.
Plug it back in and turn on the heater.

Can a super ser butane gas heater explode ?
Yes if there is a leak or the gas pressure is too high.
Always read the user instructions.
I have used them for over 30 years and never had a problem as it is serviced regularly and checked for issues.
