I am replacing a dead Vaillant oil boiler with a propane boiler. I'd rather not deal with oil any longer, but if anyone disagrees I'd listen. I have an old house and the basement is humid most of the year and in the spring there is well drained water visible in an area 8" below the concrete floor the boiler sits on. I am down to a Weil-McLain GV90+, a Slant/Fin S-120 or a Buderus GC144 from 3 different contractors. I have read the GC144 has been discontinued but apparently the contractor can get it. I have read in other posts to go with who you trust the most, but I find them all to be trustworthy. The Weil-McLain is condensing, which generally seems better. The Slant/Fin contractor swears by their replacement policy. They're all within $500 so that does not matter as much as getting a boiler that will last a long time in the humid basement. What do people think about these issues?
