I'm getting quotes for a replacement for our hot water heater. So far I've gotten 22K for materials and installation of a solar hot water heater (3-4 collector panels) with heat rejection and single zone open direct radiant heating to one floor (accessible through drop ceiling underneath). Both quotes include a backup hot water heating system; the expensive one would involve installing a new backup high efficiency heater by converting our propane tank to use for heating. This would be either the Polaris or 2 Takagi Jrs, one for the solar hot water and another to power the radiant heat. Another quote is for 12K for only the solar hot water and heat rejection using the Velux system.Are these really high? I've already contacted 3 companies but it doesn't look like too many people are installing them in Maryland yet. I'm still waiting on a quote from one final company. Thanks!
You should ask a trusted person in a sales business :)
You sure picked the wrong place to ask this. We have no idea of your house size, heat load, labor involved, quality of equipment you are looking at or any thing else. Best guess between $6.95 and $45,000.00.
Without okorder /... I don't know what size you'd need.
