Last year, my partner plus I had a boiler installed in our house; A boiler is excellent for heating the house! It is cost effective, plus it doesn’t use as much fuel as most oil furnace, however the boiler is also an excellent source for hot water; Unfortunately, when Summer comes, you don’t need a oil furnace, but you still need to use the boiler, if it is your only source of hot water.
I bought an electric hot water oil furnace to supplement the hot water when the boiler wasn’t in use. I loved the electric hot water so much that I asked my partner if it would be possible to turn off the hot water in the boiler, plus strictly use the electric hot water? He wasn’t sure if it would be possible, although he was sure a plumber could answer the question. The plumber came to the up-to-date home plus looked at the boiler plus at the hot water heater, he said he had little comprehension about boilers, although he didn’t guess it would be a problem. He saw shut-off valves, although he was hesitant to touch them. He told us we should call our Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier plus ask him the question, however when the plumber left, I called the Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier. He kind of hemmed plus hawed, plus we never got a straight answer. My partner found the thermostat for the hot water plus turned it low. He said the electric hot water should be the only thing running now! Now, all we had to do was wait plus see if we could hear the boiler turn on after I got a hot shower.
