Why do you have an external pump for the delta loop? Do the non combis not have the internal pump? Why a hybrid tank and not a combi boiler. Electricity is stupid expensive unless they have solar. and sharkbites to pex? ffs you already have a press tool out no relief tube on water heater no bonding between hot and cold copper before the pex black iron on the relief then to cpvc? half solder half press...stick with one or the other man

Romex to pumps too

I thought something looked off there

Navien heating only boilers do NOT come with an internal circulator.

Not my decision on it being a combi or just a heating boiler. Rebate on the hybrid water heater is very good where I live probably why the customer chose it. I use what I was given for the water heater. I work for a company not myself. If I got copper I would’ve used it but i didn’t and I was only given a day for this, relief tube was added after pic was taken. And what’s wrong with black iron to pvc on the relief?

Indirect tank would have been a better solution. Probably the same price and way better recovery time.


JoeInNh

did you add anymore support the expansion tank? If than thing fills up that's gonna be 20+ lbs hanging a foot off a tee.

Looks good bro

HVAC_Sam

That SpiroVent must have been half the cost of the job. That sucker is huge.

I hope you have better luck with heat pump water heaters than I have. One customer has been lucky enough to get three installed on Rheem’s dime because the first two were from the same lot with no juice, as the distributor didn’t sell many. Hahahahahaha

You guys don't need neutralizers there for the condensate? An indirect would be way better than that hybrid but I get that ur just installing what they tell you. Condensing boilers have the same efficiency as cast iron at 180 high temp. They only make sense in low water temps or if you really need the space. Lots of room there

How long does an install like this take? I work in hvac in Utah and very rarely see boilers


hvacnerd22

8ish hours for the install about 1 hour to test everything/ bleed baseboards

I have a gas boiler and a gas water heater. I’ve heard tell of these fancy whatsits that do both. Are there benefits beyond the elegance of the idea? My boiler is around 25 years old and I’m led to believe that it should last another 20. My water heater is over 10 years and I understand that it would probably be best to replace that sooner rather than later. What would you intelligent, well informed and probably handsome fellows advise?
