Hi all,

My current boiler provides both heat and hot water to my studio apartment, but I am considering getting a seperate water boiler installed so that I can turn off the boiler responsible for heat for most of the year. Since I rarely use heat, this could save me hundreds of dollars annually, given that the price of maintaining the boiler at 160+ degrees seems astronomical when compared to the what I actually use.

So, does anyone have any recommendations for types of water heaters, contractors who would install it, etc? Also, doesn’t National Grid offer a credit for doing such projects?

Thanks everyone.
