Deal on a backup oil boiler
« on: June 06, 2017, 11:43:18 AM »
I am a huge fan of having multiple heat sources and the 40 year old memco oil boiler that I have in my basement is showing its age, so I've been watching craigslist for about 7 months looking for a deal on an oil boiler to put in for a backup system. I put a brand new 330 gal oil tank in last summer and finally found a pretty good deal on a boiler. Made the round trip to Rockland Maine this morning (~2 hrs each way) and I got all this for $400. I think I did pretty good  ;D around $4500 retail and the only thing wrong with it is the sheet metal housing is a bit beat up. I'll pull it all off and straighten it while checking for damage behind it before I install it. Boiler itself was plumbed in, but the burner was never connected. MFG date shows July of 2013. Guy bought the house as a foreclosure and wanted to go with propane so all this was useless to him.  :o
