I just returned from meeting with a company that will be supplying me with a Lifebreath Clean Air furnace for my new 3000 sf home outside of Philadelphia. I am still undecided as to what I am going to use for my hot water source for the hydronic coil for heating and domestic hot water. He recommended the Quietside QVM9 unit that handles both. Anyone had and experience with this unit? Thanks, John

We use a QVM9-150W1-NG for both hydronic heat (in concrete slab and attached to underside of subfloor) as well as our domestic hot water. We installed the system in 2005 and have been very happy with the functionality. The only reason I can think of that you could not use it for domestic hot water as well would be if you do not have sufficient water pressure. If the water pressure falls below a certain point, the domestic water heater portion will not function properly. Hope this helps.

The Quietside is manufactured in S. Korea with components not readily available here in N. America. Make sure the supplier carries a sufficient inventory of the Quiteside parts.

We had an ignitor module go bad after the first year. We called up Quietside tech support. They walked us through a couple tests to determine exactly what the problem was and FedExd the part. We had it the next day, unplugged the old one, plugged in the new one and have not had a single problem since. I can't say enough about their tech supports professionalism and knowledge. So I can't say we've had the same experience as you with parts not being readily available.

If we had a service call Saturday morning on a Quiteside boiler and needed a part, it wouldn't be available at our local supply house. The very best case scenario would be getting the part on Monday, if not Tuesday.
