tankless water heater
Hi, just bought a brand new condo that has a natural gas boiler for the baseboard heating system and a hot water tank.
The question is: Can I replace both for a tankless heater?
Tks,

you can replace it with a tankless heater/ boiler combination such as the baxi luna (85.5% efficiency) or a wall hung condensing boiler w/ an indirect heating zone (96% efficiency...think weil mclain ultra, burnham, etc.)..it is all contingent on your venting options, since most of these are direct vent units

you will need to search forums. This topic was brought several times and every time people said, that this is not a good idea. I listened to them and got myself 75Gl high recovery heater.

eman1234 is right you can use a wall hung boiler with an indirect heating zone that can simultaneously heat and do domestic hot water production,while saving on space.Use of this will lower your heating costs and national grid will give you rebates for using high efficiency appliances
