HeatMaster / Too Much Boiler?
« on: January 15, 2013, 08:06:23 AM »
First off, I just found this forum a few days ago, and this is an incredible resource. Thank you all you knowledgeable contributors out there. You are a huge asset!
I am in the early stages of getting set up with an OWB by next winter. My question is this: Is there such thing as too much boiler? I live in Indiana. Phase II requirements are in affect. However, there is a provision that allows "conventional" OWB that generate 350,000 BTU's or more. I have spoken with a Heatmaster dealer, and he quoted me the G200 as well as the MF10,000. The MF is actually a bit cheaper than the G200. I would prefer the lower maintenance that comes with the traditional and I like the idea of burning "anything."
My home is approximately 3,000 SFT, broken into 3 parts, upstairs, main floor, and bonus room above the garage. Each part has its own furnace. They are all electric!! (Thus, why I am looking at OWB's.) I want to install a space heater in the garage. I have a hot tub and a pool. I don't want to heat the pool now, but might in the distant future. I have 2 water heaters. While it sounds like I have plenty to utilize the boiler, I'm concerned that the 10,000 is too much. I've read about keeping a minimum temp to prevent deterioration to the boiler, and that is achieved by "using" the boiler.
Thoughts? Concerns?
