    Combo Boiler

    Hello All,
    I have someone looking for a High efficiency heating boiler with a stand alone DHW heat exchanger in it (like and instaneous/on demand). I know someone out there has one but I don't know who. I would prefer to go with a Knight and a Indirect but they feel this circumstance requires this "Combo" boiler.

    Anyone have any names?

    Won't find one

    Most combi's tap out at 160,000 or less
    Navien may be the biggist when it arrives at 199,000 but with a 7,000 sq ft house I doubt any combi boiler can meet the DHW demand with gpm limitations ranging from 2 to 5 with a 70 degree rise.

    but what's the peak demand for hot water.

    At 7000 sq. ft, theres got to be at least one human car wash shower system and a large soaking tub.

    No on demand unit in my opinion.

    RUN!

    Why do they insist on a Combi/combo unit?
    How many bathrooms/showers & appliances that require hot water?
