I'm having a GE Geospring geothermal water heater installed right next to my Columbia EM-100 oil burner furnace that currently provides hot water and heat (thru baseboards) for my home. Installs pretty much the same as a standward water heater but one plumber said there's a way to permanently cut off the oil furnace from providing the hot water now that the new water heater is taking over that function.
Is that recommended or necessary? I could also simply flip the oil furnace off in the summer months. Would that be a bad thing to do?
Thank you.
