Recomendation on Oil Furnace and Hot WaterTank?

Nov 27, 2003 1 Replies

I currently have an oil fired boiler and a tankless heater that I want to upgrade. My house is 30 years old. My questions are:



1.) What brand for a boiler
2.) What brand for a Hot Water Tank?
3.) Direct or indirect for water heater? ( When calling for quotes to replace the system I have gotten two recommendations for the hot water tank, one says direct for efficency, the other states indirect because they are aluminum and will last a life time were the direct will be 5-7 years tops. Specs:
2 Zones House 1000sq feet Basement 600 Sq Feet Oil Fired forced hot water baseboards Insulation:
3" walls, 12 inches ceilings Floors have 6 inches Live in Southern New England Ed


I would question "direct-fired water heaters lasting 5-7 years tops."
