Hey everybody-
Wanted to pick the collective's brains about on demand water heater. Purchased a house in the fall, it's a 23 y/o log cabin with a fuel oil boiler and 2 zone radiator (1st and 2nd floor, about 1500 sq ft on 1st floor, 1000 sq ft on 2nd). Boiler also produces hot water for the house- 3 full bath, washer, etc. Family size is 2 (me and the wife) and likely to be that way for 5-7 yrs if not forever.
The water "tank" is about 20 yrs old. Not sure what the life span on one of those suckers is... i figure it doesn't do much other than hold water and maybe monitors temp to kick boiler on when water cools.
Like everybody else here, i'm trying to decrease my dependence on the oil man. Wondering if somebody could fill me in on pros/cons of an on demand water heater. I think there's room on the electrical panel for it so that shouldn't be an issue.
