Oh interesting! How does that work?

As I understand it, there's no separate water heater, but rather some sort of exchanger that has coils of plumbing that go through a section of the furnace. I haven't spent much time looking at it - they have a serious horror-flick basement here :-)

How unusual! It makes lots of sense (well, unless for some reason you want hot water during the summer) but I've never seen anyone do it that way.
