Hello all,
I bought my home last year and consumed what i consider to be too much oil last year. I have gas lines on my street so I think converting will be a great investment and pay for its self over the next few years.
This process has been more difficult then i expected and finding reviews on boilers is harder then i thought, i found one site that had a lot of reviews on a good amount of diff boilers but almost every boiler had awful reviews.
So I bring my inquiries here. I am leaning towards the wall hung COMBI units but I am not sure which to use.
Home details:
2000 sq feet, two zones, baseboard heat, 2.5 baths.
I have spoken with four companies so far and the details are below.
Company 1, Petro
Burnham ES2 boiler with leaving my current water tank was about $9,000 including lining the chimney
Company 2, Local plumber who came recommended.
He gave two options full details below:

Company 3, Sears

Company 4, Local plumber also highly recommended and someone I had met a few times not knowing they were a plumber.
Highly Recommends LAARS Mascot FT
Still waiting on the estimate, he just came yesterday.
two of the companies on their own said Navien was awful without me even telling them i had someone recommend.
Plumber told me that parts for the LAARS were stocked locally which is appealing as i heard that is an issue.
Sears is a very appealing options but I question the quality of that work that will be done.
Any and all recommendations on these options would be greatly appreciated.
