Hi all...great info on the Apollo units, but I must admit, not very encouraging for my situation. We are in the process of purchasing a foreclosure property, which has two hydronic heat units attached. One is an Apollo, the other is a First Co model HWF 32-3. Both coil units are damaged from freezing, due to the timing of the previous owner leaving, and the bank taking over the property. Bottom line is that the system wasn't winterized until after it froze (we are in Flagstaff, AZ btw). I believe I can track down a replacement coil from First Co (with a 3-4 week build time, as it is a discontinued model), but I don't know what to do with the Apollo unit. This property is basically two separate houses that are joined by a large atrium. The heating system in one house is a standard forced air furnace, but the water for both houses is tied into the hydronic system. So while we would have heat in the one side, there would be no water until the coil units are replaced. From reading this post, I get the idea that replacing the entire system might be the way to go...and if that is the case, I believe walking away from this property might also be the wisest move. Please let me know if you have any ideas as to the repair of the Apollo unit, or an opinion of this situation as a whole... Thanks in advance for your help! This property is
