Hi everyone, forgive my cluelessness. We are first time homeowners in
CT and I grew up in Southern Cal. So now I have this house with an
oil-burning boiler set at about 180 (from what I've read this is not
abnormal). It seemed fine until winter hit (and this one is a doozy)
and now I'm lucky to get a lukewarm shower. Its a little better if I
crank the heat for the house, but certainly not a hot shower. One
plumber said we needed a hot water tank, but I'm unsure if this is
wise to put in now if we are going to central heat and air this
spring. Basically I'm loathe to spend a lot of money that we wont
need in the future. Can one put in a hot water tank that works with
the oil burning tankless/coil system and then later with a central,
gas driven system? We actually have a gas line down there now coming
into the basement if that makes a difference.

Any help very welcomed - I'm cranky without a hot bath!
