  • hot water problems

    I have an oil fired boiler and in the winter months I have to let the shower run for at least ten minutes just to take a warm shower. I have an extra zone off of the boiler that I am not using should I install a hot water heater. Is this my only option or is there other means to get hot water.

    do you have a tankless coil? If so, you're probably taking a shower while there is a call for heat. Adding an indirect w/ a priority relay will probably help you out. You just have to look at the tank literature & see if you have enough boiler to get the published recovery of the tank.
