Non-Tech Question But Fustrating & Elusive Nevertheless

T. Traceski

I am replacing my hydronic heating system with a burnhan RV4 with an indirect DHW tank. Does anyone dare to help me with the cost difference between an ALL40A and an ALL53A NG indirect fired tanks($100, $200, or $300)? I am not asking for anyone to quote the purchase cost for ethier of the two indirect tanks, heaven forbid, I am not!. I just want to know the cost difference between the two tanks so I can decide if I can cover the cost of going to a larger tank. Please do not refer me to Burnham or one of the contractors on the Burnham locator; they won't provide any info without a contract in place, and I need the cost difference (only) to structure a RFP. Thxs. (If I am asking for wetheads to break some code about providing information on cost, my appologies, that's why I toned it down to see if someone was willing and able to provide the cost diffence between the 40 gal and 53 gal tanks)

p.s. Please understand that if I don't get the cost difference info from someone, so help me, I'll chuck the whole idea and go for 'Gold' with a Weil/Mclain!

cost difference

Not a Burnham dealer or a fan of them, so I can't help there, but am a Weil Dealer and think you would get a better unit. The Weil Gold Plus tanks, 40 gal. and 60 gal are about a couple of hundred $$ apart. But don't use price to size your tank. Most manufacturers provide charts to figure tank sizing based on demand. IF you have a large tub or whirlpool, use need as much storage as the content of the tub and that will suffice. Do it right and size correctly. That should be the basis for selecting a tank. Good luck.
