So, I am deciding whether or not to do a partial conversion in my home. Our current hot water set up runs through our oil fired boiler with a coil system to heat the water. Problem is, It runs out quickly, so I was going to go with a tankless water heater that is propane fired, but the cost of propane isn't much less than that of home heating oil. Is it even worth it? I have some friends in the business and I can get everything installed for cost, but is it even worth it?
Does anybody have any experience with propane vs hearing oil. I guess the efficiency is much better with the tankless, but the cost savings doesn't seem to be all that great. I have to do something one way or another so.......
Purchase an indirect fired stainless steel storage tank (Superstor,Burnham or Weil McLain) and install it on your existing system.
Agree. I run mine off a seperate zone on the boiler.
