There is a boiler in one wing of a home I own that has a tankless water heater. This wing of the house is closed off and not occupied. I only run the boiler enough to keep pipes from freezing in winter. I would like to disconnect the domestic hot water since it sometimes makes the boiler run even though there is no use for domestic HW in that part of the house. Can I simply cap off the cold water supply to the exchanger, drain it, and forget about it, or do I need to remove the coil?
