Message: [QUOTE="jimazee, post: 4390598, member: 552"] Been happy with various tanks of all types. We now have a sidecar (or whatever they call the pipe-attached tank, heated as a zone on the (propane) boiler), a few water tanks self-heated (oil, gas, electric...not my fav)....and even a coil or two in the boiler (simple but erratic?).. We once installed tankless in an under-construction commercial-type building about 15 years ago...because we had low volume/usage, so we thought tankless was a good fit. I think it proved to be so from a fuel consumption perspective....but more complexity/cost in installation (as I recall ). Over time seems to have held up with some minor issues. but I'm no longer there). Probably a good fit here. I like our current (house) system: a propane boiler with a sidecar water tank and a backup generator on the same fuel tank. This is combined with a propane-fueled fireplace (handy when the boiler is out...but no hot water ;-) ). It's a nice setup. We've had some boiler problems but all else works great. This was all installed during construction, about 13 years ago. This is my fav... We've never had a badly leaking water tank...probably lucky.
