Lets see if I can explain my quandary. My brother just called from FL and asked me to do a job for him at a home he owns in NY. The HW heater is bad. Simple replacement would be easy. BUT then I wouldn't be asking a question. There are two apartments upper and lower. At this time one tenant is paying to heat the water for both flats. We want to change this. I have not seen the basement of this house for 25 years so I am not to sure of the layout. I do know there are two services (Gas / Elect) and two furnaces but one HWH. I also think that the plumbing is probably run through the home as a single unit. My question is this. If I run a gas line from the line that now is not paying for HW and can I combine two HWH to the same single system? I told him this will not solve the problem of one tenant paying for the gas for HW as I believe one HW heater will still be used mainly to supply the house. If this makes sense to you guys, let me know if it is possible without a manifold to manually control the tank being used. I need to do this in the morning so any help would be great.
