No leaks, but my current 17-year-old hot water heater has a flaky boiler that I've spent $500 or so on service calls over the past year. So I'm looking at a replacement, but know practically nothing. I have a 3rd floor condo, where the hot water also feeds my heating system. My current system has a wall-hung, natural gas HydroTherm boiler
I don't wanna bug you guys with a lot of stupid questions, but where the hell do I start? Any good web resources that will explain the options to me? Particularly when it comes to brands. Size of the unit isn't an issue, because it's in a wide-open storage area. From what little I know, a tankless unit sounds like it won't have the capacity or convenience that we want.
When I chatted with a service guy once, he suggested that replacing my system could run $2K, which struck me as huge....Thanks.
