If you’re using your heating boiler to supply your building with hot water during the warm weather months, you’re missing out on the significant benefits of installing a separate domestic hot water heater.

These benefits include:

1) The smaller DHW heater can produce the hot water more efficiently than your heating boiler.’ By shutting down your heating boiler during the warm weather months, you will save on fuel expenses.

2) Shutting down the heating boiler in the summertime will reduce wear and tear on your heating boiler and prolong its life.

3) The DHW heater can serve as a backup source of hot water during the heating season.’ Should the heating boiler need to be shut down for maintenance or repairs, the occupants of the building will continue to have domestic hot water service.’
