Thanks Dan - yes, I don't know the economics I just had a quote on a furnace without hot water - I might get a quote for a furnace with a hot water coil and then make a decision -- seems that saving some space might be reason enough to go with a furnace/hot water option. Also, if it can't keep up with demand it might shorten the shower times for my kids. Regards, Charlie Macdonald Halifax, Nova Scotia [EMAIL PROTECTED]
