I need a new gas heating and hot water heater combo that includes a side vented blower. I don't want to deal with a separate water heater any more. I have no chimney. The heat is distributed by baseboard forced hot water system. I live in northern New England. It gets very cold in the winter.
I have no idea what the best brands are. Obviously, I want something dependable and low maintenance from a company that will still be around providing replacement parts for years to come.
I've had some estimates but I've never heard of the brands the plumbers recommended. Each plumber seems to only work with one brand so it's not like they offer choices.
I know my choices are limited by the fact I need a forced side ventilation with blower to get rid of exhaust gasses but I do not wish to rearrange my entire house to allow installation of a roof chimney.
Anyway, is there a particular brand you would recommend? Thanks for reading this and offering your suggestions!
