General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / New OWB

« on: March 02, 2019, 07:25:29 AM »

Hi everyone,  I am researching a new boiler for my house.  Our current unit is a Greenwood Aspen 175/Empyre Pro Series.  It has recently suffered from catastrophic failure of the firebox/water jacket.  It has been running for us for 10+ years.  I have fixed everything on it, leaking gaskets, blown fans, melted door, broken firebrick, etc. I installed it in October of 2018.  I believe that it was the first or second EP certified unit in my town. 
With that being said I am looking for a more reliable unit with less moving parts. 
I am open to any manufacturer that has a viable warranty (mine ran out upon installation)
House is 2,500 square feet, new shop will be an additional 1500 square feet.
Laws and regulations aside, what is my best option?  No one will know if I change out my boiler, as my closest neighbors are 1000+ yards away.  I am also considering a metal shed over the new boiler to give me a place to work that is dry.

Thanks for your advice...
