I live in Queens, NY and currently have a Burnham boiler (299K BTU) running 2 zones for heat via a hydronic coil on 2 air handlers and 2, 5 ton Lennox units for A/C also using these Lennox air handlers. This equipment has outlived it's useful life and I'm looking for advice on replacing with efficiency and reliability at the top of my list. My questions are:
Should I be considering heat pumps instead of (or in addition to) another heat source?
Rheem has an integrated tankless hot water, hydronic air handler and condenser system, would this work? If heat pump is an option, could it be hooked up to a hydronic air handler?
Lastly, does it make sense to connect a tankless hot water system to a small hot water heater to avoid the wait on a long run (I have a recirculating pump for this purpose today).
Apologies for the long questions, but I really would appreciate some impartial advice.
Thank you.
