Hi everyone, forgive my cluelessness. *We are first time homeowners in

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

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!

www.heatinghelp.com is where boiler pros are. You have a coil in the
boiler for HW? So fix it. its not leaking so it cant be that hard. You
are changing from a boiler and radiators to a furnace and ducts,
remove radiators? You need a few more opinions on that. I didnt we
just added Spacepack. What is he paying you for your radiators!
