The Project

When we first met with our customer he was concerned with the rising price of propane; his main heating fuel source. He had been lucky in the past by being able to cut a deal with the local propane dealer, but he knew one day he might not be so lucky. Now with his new system he will save on any price increases as well as increases in trucking costs to deliver the fuel.

The Design

So we designed a system that would immediately offset his consumption. His domestic hot water has priority and all excess heat is given to the pool. We made sure in our design to allow for future expansion. We also left some prime real estate on the roof for a future photovoltaic system.
