I will be replacing my oil fired boiler with geothermal (water furnace). I will be using the system for heating radiant only (NO AC). I have looked at a sidebar to do all of my Domestic Hot water also but man is it expensive $3,000. The pay out versus just a standard electric water heater does not seem that great. Any one else had this feeling. right now a 50 gallon electric seems to make more sense than LP or on demand units. any advice. I have also looked at Solar however, One project at a time. Thanks

It depends on how long you plan to stay in the home. If longer than about 5-8 years, then go with the heat pump domestic water. Otherwise, the next best thing for you will be an electric water heater.
