Hi everyone, forgive my cluelessness. We are first time homeowners in CT and I grew up in Southern Cal. So now I have this house with an oil-burning boiler set at about 180 (from what I've read this is not abnormal). It seemed fine until winter hit (and this one is a doozy) and now I'm lucky to get a lukewarm shower. Its a little better if I crank the heat for the house, but certainly not a hot shower. One plumber said we needed a hot water tank, but I'm unsure if this is wise to put in now if we are going to central heat and air this spring. Basically I'm loathe to spend a lot of money that we wont need in the future. Can one put in a hot water tank that works with the oil burning tankless/coil system and then later with a central, gas driven system? We actually have a gas line down there now coming into the basement if that makes a difference.
Any help very welcomed - I'm cranky without a hot bath!
