Question:

Last october I purchased a oil fired water heater (single tank).I have heard the regulations were changed if your house was heated with water. My house has a air handler (water heat). I know you now reguire a two tank water heater, would you happen to know when this came into affect.

Answer:

Your local building authority (city hall) is the best place to turn to for this.

In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
