Hot Water Supply Ideas

Denny Crane · 04-15-2013, 08:10 AM

I was debating the same issue last year after my propane super store that ran off the burner died. I have an aging propane boiler and ended up putting in a Marathon hot water heater from NHECO, under 800(50 gal) plus plumbing and electrician's cost. The tankless sounded great but was going to run approximately 7k. I wanted to nurse the boiler for a few more years and I thought running the boiler between may and november just to heat hot water would take some years off its life, so I opted for the electric. Show up, flip the switch, end of our stay flip it off. Simple. I believe Marathon has a lifetime warranty?
