I was ready to do an oil to gas conversion, when I decided to replace the 3 25yo ac condensers be also. I realized that i could use 2 heat pumps to heat the house instead, and it was recommended to have a backup heat source since I had already scheduled gas to be brought into the house. I live in Long island, ny.
There are two 60,000 btu coils in my air handlers in my attic, and I have 3 bathrooms, though usually only 2 will be used at any time because of my really young kids. I think that a tankless is the way to go, and was looking at the Navien 240e or the Bosch 151p combis.
I know that most of you will probably think that may not generate enough DHW for the house, but what's a better and cost effective solution? The boiler portion won't be used 99% of the year since it's just serving as a secondary heat source in case my heat pumps can't keep up in 20° weather.
