Hi everyone. Our '66 boiler is leaking so we are in the market for a plumber to replace it. A few questions:
1. We have a 3000 sq foot house with 172 feet of baseboard heat plus 3 kick heaters and one 4 foot radiator. One plumber is telling us to get a 100,000 btu boiler and another plumber is saying to get a 140,000 btu boiler. What do you think?
2. We are deciding between a Peerless and Weil Mclain. Any thoughts? My understanding is both are good.
3. We are also going to get an indirect tank for water. One plumber says to go with a Burham that is "stone lined" because we have hard water and that will be less susceptible to problems from the hard water. True?
4. Last: Most plumbers are trying to sell us a 82" efficient boiler. Is it worth getting something more efficient?
Thank you!!
