I apologize if this has been covered before, I searched and read quite a bit before posting this but please point me to a thread if I've missed it.
We're in the northeast (NH) and have a buderus G215 oil fired boiler that heats our hot water via a SuperStor Ultra 60 gallon indirect tank. This works fine but obviously means that we have the boiler running in the summer with all of the negatives that go with it. I'm considering installing a heat pump water heater in series (before) the indirect tank and have a few questions.
Is using an add-on heat pump like the Nyle Geyser-RO a better solution than adding a full hybrid hot water heater? If this is a good approach, any recommendations on which add-on heat pump to buy?
If I install a hybrid heat pump hot water heater in series but leave it in heat pump only mode all of the time, will that make a meaningful difference in extending the life of the hybrid's tank?
If I install a hybrid in series with the indirect tank, is it worth it and is there a good way to create a recirculation loop between the tanks to effectively create a larger tank?
Thanks for your help.
