    prob not.
    Ditch the combi setup. Have an indirect water heater that runs as a sep zone off the boiler.

    Personally not a fan of navien... dont think they are a quality unit... my $.02
    35 w a mix valve may work but I would opt for a 50 gallon and install a mix valve on it.
    Boost the tank temp to 140F and mix it down to 120F.

    The Boiler I have used the most is the IBC HC... fewer moving parts to break. I have 80 of these in the field. The install is the key. If the installer does not install it correctly then it does not matter.

    We had dozens of Naviens are my last company out in the field over the last 4 years. Never had a single issue or changed any parts. Except one in a commercial setting that wasn’t maintained. Needed HE flushed and flow sensor pulled and cleaned. Mostly combi.

    Just installed a NHB-150 on a former gravity system with an indirect. Customer couldn’t be happier. It replaced a 1 year old Noritz COmbi that was poorly installed and giving them nothing but trouble.

    Ironically I reinstalled that used Noritz in my house (have other primary heating sources) and its been fine going on 2 months now. Go figure.
