Had some problems with my oil fired boiler, which is 20+ years old. The price of replacing it is ****ing ridiculous. $5,200 for a boiler and $3,500 to replace the inground tank. HFS! A gas boiler will probably be about the same cost but without the cost of replacing the tank, which will be handled professionally but not for $3,500. Anyone have the scoop on gas fired hot water boilers?

 

This is what I just installed. i cost me about $3600 and I installed it myself.

I have to get a gas line run to the house so I can't install that one myself. Aside from that how was it to install?

 

It wasn't too bad I had to redo some piping that had been previously installed with that model I had to run 3" PVC exhaust and intake pipes. That was the main reason for purchasing that model cause my chimney was getting in poor shape and with this setup I can now get rid of the chimney.

 

Okay cool. I don't have to have a PVC exhaust but I can accommodate one if I need to. You know its efficient when they use PVC as an exhaust stack!
