My apologies if this has already been covered at length - I do recall seeing a thread about a small space, but can't seem to find it when searching...
I'm taking on the rehab of a single floor 425 ft2 one bed/one bath house in the Blackstone Valley (MA/RI). I am looking to replace the dated electric baseboard and DHW tank and go propane fired to maximize the livable space. Clearly, maintaining living space is a major concern and I don't have much area to spare, so it makes sense to me to section off a small utility closet and wall mount what I can.
Having done a bit of reading here and elsewhere, finding a combi boiler with such low min output (roughly 20,ooo) seems to be the challenge. Would I be better off to find the appropriately sized boiler and run a separate unit DHW?
Any thoughts, recommendations, comments, or accusations of lunacy for actually wanting to live in 400 ft2 are welcome...
