They’re using the water heater as a boiler(hopefully not for domestic water as well). In AZ it’s probably adequate.


Clean looking install…


What size was the house?

There ain't no way any of us in the northern states would see that. The best it'd be capable of is November or March heating. March might be pushing it...April heating..yeah that's it April.

1450 sq. ft.


What are they heating? 73 gal W/H . It's the only W/H in the building.

Boiler?

If they’re not using it for zone heating, I have no idea what’s up.


I confess that four zones for 1450 square feet seems extreme as well.

It has four feeds w/ zone valves; four returns. Looks like a boiler to me.

It is all for floor heating.


Yes,it is overkill.
So is the dual heating and A/C.


This home cost almost twice what a "normal" home would cost in the same area.

I guess they do not want there feet to get cold. ![icon_biggrin.gif](upload://iKNGSw3qcRIEmXySa8gItY6Gczg.gif)

Chad,

"(hopefully not for domestic water as well)"

Why? (Other than 'It just isn't capable of both up there'.)

Those water heaters are made for that and have a separate internal loop for the heating system water.
