hello i need some help actually a lot of help
I purchased a greenwood 100 last year installed most of it myself
Greenwood has done a heat loss study and determined i need between 300 and 330000 btu's of heat i have a 3,000 sq. ft. home 1,000 of which is basement space i use for a shop. I have a 350 gal hot tub hooked up also
Greenwood has offered me that i can upgrade to a gw 300 for the difference in price. I questioned do i need a gw 300 i asked them if i could upgrade to an aspen (I was told by an installer that the aspen series not designed by greenwood was a much superior design) They told me i would need an aspen 350 (probably because it cost much more) I'm just afraid if i get the 350 i will have heat dump problems (the heat dump i have works with my furnace works great for the winter but in the summer is non existent because i shut the valve off to the furnace so as to not heat the house in the summer)
I was told by another installer that i could get by with the 100 if i sat up an extra 50 gal water heater as a storage tank with an aquastat etc. I don't have any experience with this at all after this fiasco the gw install ran about double what i thought it would about $9,000.00
I have drawn out what i think the other installer was trying to get across to me i want to put a 40 plate flat plate to heat dhw just not sure what to do with everything else any help would greatly be appreciated. sincerely Doc
