I was talking to my brother in OK, and he said that they are installing alot of them.
That they work for heat & hot water? Available in 100 & 200 volt capacities? And that the 100V unit runs for about $60? plus hook fees, etc, natch.
And that if the units were inoperable, that I could have installed a "ball valve" to revert to the oil burner, if needed?
I mentioned that I have a well for water supply ( hard water), and he said that wasn't a problem, but then told me to install a filter system between the incoming in the basement from the well, and the new (for me, it's 3 years old, my metal tank at 15 years old is already making me nervous), fiberglass tank I am installing, and then another one from the tank to the main water line into the house (which I already have).
He said I could be totally independant off of oil with this system, ( insert for main house), and that I could heat the apartment with a 220 unit for the baseboard? And that I'd need another 200 system for the main part of the house, to supply enough hot water? and get a quick return on my $$$$'s.
I've researched "Insta Heat" but I don't think I'm finding what he's talking about.
I might also add, I take anything my brother usually tells me with a grain of salt, or 2, or 3.
Come at me easy with this....I hear electric, and the school teacher from Charlie Brown kicks in :bug:
