If I install the electric water heater in series after the oil furnace then the oil furnace would still turn on when I am using hot water. My question is has anybody ever installed an electric water heater by installing the return of the electric water heater to the supply of the oil furnace tank-less supply? The reason why I would like to install the water heater before the oil furnace tank-less is because even during the winter months the water that supplies the oil furnace tank-less will already be hot and therefore save oil consumption my helping to keep the burner hot. During the summer months the hot water would be heated completely with electricity so the oil furnace can be shut off thus saving the cost of oil being used just to heat the hot water. This allows the electric water heater to be fed with hot water from the furnace during the winter months (while the furnace is being used anyways) to help heat the hot water to save electricity. Then they would turn off the furnace during the non heating season, and during the heating season they would turn on the boiler. ![]() I have read multiple threads of people that have installed an electric water heater by hooking up the hot water return from the oil furnace to the inlet of the electric water heater. ![]() I am looking to install an electric hot water heater in series with my oil furnace. I have an oil furnace that has a tank-less hot water that supplies my hot water.
