Is an indirect water heater worth it?

An indirect water heater, if used with a high-efficiency boiler and well-insulated tank, can be the least expensive means of providing hot water, particularly if the heat source boiler is set to “cold start.” Indirect water heaters are a more efficient choice for most homes, even though they require a storage tank.

How do you test an indirect water heater thermostat?

Test the lower portion of the thermostat, by touching one lead to the common terminal (next to the temperature setting) and the second lead to the left heating element terminal. If the water in the tank is below the thermostat’s set temperature, the multimeter should read close to zero ohms of resistance.
