Existing Conditions
Air handler xxx has an electric heating coil, even though heating water is available.
Retrofit Conditions
The existing electric coil should be replaced with a hot water coil served from the boiler plant. The savings come from substituting an expensive heat source for a less expensive source (natural gas). Electricity is almost four times as expensive as the equivalent heating value of natural gas.
