I finally got my Rheem tankless water heater installed yesterday, and after turning the water on and flushing the lines, I ended up with three drips - all from NPT fittings, and all on plastic housings. One was into the whole house filter, which since I used sharkbites on, was easy to fix -...

So I had the gas company come out and scope out the situation and quote a solution, and a workable solution has been figured out. The plan is for them to replace the meter and increase the pressure from the meter to 2PSI, then place a ~400CFH regulator right before the line enters the house to...

While you're probably right about the furnace being over-sized, it's not something I'm going to worry about at this moment, since I'm not going to replace it because it's too big. Now, if/when it needs to be replaced, that's a different story, and I will certainly keep your comments in mind, but...
