Apollo vs Tankless

Rich Kontny_3

Had to do something with the State water heater line after they bought it. This is a very in-efficient way to heat not only your building space but your hot water.

Might want check your local building codes also. If the Department of Energy had any clout what so ever these type of systems would be banned.

You have better choices than this, that will cost you more initially but save you more each month.

Can I do it?

My question is can I run an existing Apollo heating system with a tankless hot water system? I was told it needed to be at least 200,000 Btu's, the one I found goes up to 199,000. It is sold At Homedepot. Will I have enough water (hot) in the winter to keep the showers, sinks, dishes, laundry all running (not at the same time) without interruption. I live in Virginia Beach Virginia. Any help would be great. Any direction to get some help would also be helpfull.
Thanx

Is this a direct potable/space heating hot water system?

One that uses potable water in the space heating system? Or is there a heat exchanger to isolate the two fluids?

Look into...

... the AO Smith Vertex heater. It's condensing and may be able to fit your needs.
