kaffy_r It's Tuesday and the Water is Still Cold
Just what it says on the frakkin' tin. They're coming back and they will get it right - first, by hiking the temperature. They set the heater at only 120; that's a no go.
In our building, especially if the existing tanks are simply going to be holding tanks for heated water prior to it circulating through the building, that needs to be jacked up to at least 160. Why? because that will put the reservoir water at 140, which is what we ned to have, in order to have units farthest from the heater get water that's actually at 120 degrees. The building's weird and it has even weirder plumbing. I told him this, and asked him - knowing this, do you think one heater will do the job. He said yes. I should have paid attention to his momentary hesitation.
Hot. Water. Want. It. Now.
FFFFFFfuuuuuuuuuuuuu
