Beckett Heat Manger Any experiences?

Question

MY Oil bill came with an enclosed brochure for the Beckett Heat Manager. It claims to save 10% to 20% on fuel costs.

In my case, the savings at 10% is about $150/year. Seems as though we should all be clamoring to get one right away. I'm guessing the cost to be in the $350 range as that is what the Beckett guarantee tops out at.

Any thoughts on it?

There are several different brands on the market. The concept has beenaround for a long time, but I don't have any personal experience with thenewer ones. The Beckett HeatManager (part # 7512) is for heating onlyboilers. If you have a domestic hot water coil, you need to add the Beckettsensor (part # 7518). Watts also makes the Energy Saver (part # 0067611),and Erie make the Boiler Boss (part # BB2400-2). Wholesale prices seem to beabout the same. It's a good concept, and if they're durable enough, theyshould work ok. Ask your local contractors if they've had any experiencewith them, and if they like them. Back in the 80s, American Stabilis soldthe Enertrol, that did about the same thing. They cost a lot of money andwere nothing but headaches.

Found it here   to be mixed feelings.  My boiler is 28 years old.  In a few years it may need to be replaces so it may be best to just wait and get a better boiler.Thanks,
