Our local sad and bad stories about using a regular water heater have far outnumbered the good reports.
Locally, I have inquired with three electricians, my local power cooperative, the county electrical inspector, and two business places that operate hot water slab heat systems...All seven of these folks express favor of the tankless boiler system....and shared some real monster stories about some of the water heater systems they had dealt with...
In the past years, I have seen "specially equipped" slab water heaters advertised in our local cooperative's monthly newspaper..These were spendy; around a thousand bucks several years back.... I have not seen them advertised for some time...When I was asking around, nothing good was said about these units, either...
The tankless heater, ((with it's ready plumbed panel containing a pump, expansion tank, gauges, etc,)) really looks like the winner....What I am after is a 120degree heating source for a 28x56 heated shop floor, maintained to around 45degrees...A 7K boiler should be able to handle this job.???....For the past two years, This same shop has been heated by a 7.5K electric garage heater;;; this same heater can be used for supplement heat for my immediate work area
when I am out there working...I am very much open to recommendations...Thanks  |
