....if u can find an answer to this.....what i want to know and can't seem to find out online is if it's possible to use a small to medium sized tnakless water heater to heat the water going into our system so that the oil furnace will only be heating the water an additional 20? 30? degrees.
i don't really want to have a whole house tankless system, separate from the existing system, because it would require more new pipes and plumbing than i can afford, so i guess what i'm really looking for is a way to pre-warm the water before it goes into the furnace system (the water coming into the house right now is incredibly cold - almost icy, so it takes one heck of a lot of oil to warm it to - for instance -shower temp).....the tankless seemed like a good idea, but i'm open to suggestion!
i would love to hear your dad's take on this, since my hubby keeps telling me i'm dreaming, but i just know there HAS to be a better way to do this!
thx so very much!
