Our new-to-us 2008 Beneteau 40 has a very new to me hydronic heating system leveraging an Espar D5, hot water tank and engine heat (impressive to me). I have done some research and think I get the basics on how the system works, and while it is working it has a leak in a component that I am not familiar with (see attached). It strikes me that a paid hour with an expert might make it less likely I botch things up while trying to get to know it's inner workings. Any thoughts appreciated.
Can anyone recommend a Hydronic heating/hvac expert in the Vancouver area?

Yes without hesitation, Jeff Cote and staff at Pacific Yacht Systems.

I'd call these guys, they're the BC Espar distributors I believe.
Roton joined with PYS and are no longer on Granville Island
Thanks for all this. I will continue to investigate PYS/Roton however my experience so far is slow and VERY expensive.
As this proceeds I am continuing to try to unlock this puzzle in a dyi fashion. I have ordered an D5 service kit and continue to search for anyone that can help me identify and solve the leak in the 'mixing device' that is really the only source of remaining issues. The system heats up well but leaks from this piece. Once I know a bit more about what it is/does I will remove it for repair/replacement.
I have jumped in on this tread given the OPs success and collection of useful posts: Espar hydronic heating system
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Our previous boat was a Beneteau and I did most of my own work. First Yachts in North Vancouver were always very helpful. They did great work when I asked them to and pointed me in the right direction when they couldn't do it. Great resource for a Beneteau owner in the Vancouver area.
