Well I'm not sure what the inside of the g200 looks like, but right now I have the g400 and it has air injection tubes that are on both sides of the door just inside and I have had them plug up many times so far this year, especially when we have warmer days.  It has plugged off right to the point that no air gets through and the water temp just drops.  I had a heck of a time finding something that I could get down the air tubes to clean them out, turned out a urinal power snake finally made its way to break through the cresote to get the air flowing again.  But again the problem is everytime it gets warmer again, the boiler is so efficient that it smolders when not calling for heat to raise the water temp, that the tubes plug again.  I got so tired of it that I made a deal with my dealer on trading it in for a 10000e.  I will be actually changing it out tomorrow.

Yea, had a lady in Canada I've been dealing with, she's trading hurt g200 in for a 3000

What are the drawbacks to long idle times?

Anytime a stove is properly sized it just burns cleaner is the main thing....     Less build up, easier on door gaskets n such, it can be managed and dealt with though

So, I did some double checking on the size of my house.  Apparently it is larger than I thought.  The apprisal estimate on my square footage did not include the room above my garage.  So, here is where I am now. 

First Floor Furnace = 1750 SFT
Second Floor Furnace = 1150 SFT
Garage = 900 SFT
Bonus room Furnace = 800 SFT
2 Water heaters
1 Hot Tub
1 inground pool (long ways off to heat possibly)
Windows are terrible.  Curtains blow with them closed! 

I am beginning to think that the MF10,000 won't be too much boiler after all! I don't think the MF5,000 would get the job done!  Thoughts?

Forget any 5000's with that much

I wouldn't put anything less than a 10,000E on that

The standard 10 isn't as efficient, so not likely a good choice
