Hey all,
Our indirect water heat tank has begun leaking. My gf wants to switch to a directly heated one but I'm not sure that's going to be a really good choice. Currently we use a wall hung buderus to heat our house (through forced air heat exchanger) and then heat our indirect water tank. Everything is all plumbed in with soldered copper tubing and the thought of capping the ends that run to the indirect water tank to switch to a direct natural gas heated tank seems excessive.
Keep in mind that the Buderus Boiler we have is almost 10 years old so I'm thinking it will likely fail in the near future as well.
Any thoughts? I would really just like to have a tech install a new indirect tank and keep things as is. It would be nice to be able to do this myself but I'm not really interested in draining/soldering a bunch of glycol filled copper lines.
Regards,
Mike
