What u have there now to heat the water?
Are u running out of hot water?0 -
find out the make & model of the tank. go on their website & they should provide performance stats at a specific boiler btu & water temp. That would be the btu's required for domestic hot water production. If the boiler is being used for space heating, do a heatloss to make sure your covered for both scenarios.0
