I'm considering upgrading my heating/hot water boiler in the next year. It still works, but at 30 years it is possibly going to die at some point so I'm starting to plan ahead.
I'm considering either a Buduerus or Crown Boiler.
I don't have hard quotes, but ball park is $7000 to $7500 for boiler and indirect water heater. Efficiency is 86% so I'll be saving a bit over present heater, but I don't see huge savings. I'm at 75% to 80% now so on
800 gallons I'll cut back 80 gallons or $240 a year. Unless someone show that is incorrect, the payback is very long at $3 a gallon.Comments welcome.
