Central Boiler / Re: Sizing a CB

« on: August 25, 2011, 02:19:14 PM »

Thanks marty that is helpful In NY the 2400 is considered a commercial unit I still would be able to purchase it because I live on a farm.  I would rather get the 1400 because of the price and I could put it closer to my house because of the difference in set back req. between comm. and res. units.  My biggest concern is the burn time its hard to figure the actual difference in burn times and if it warrants going up to the bigger unit sorry about the list below got a little skewed

Central Boiler / CB 2300 or 2400

« on: August 23, 2011, 05:10:15 PM »

Have the option to buy a 2 year old 2300 for $9000 brand new never used from the dealer or a 2400 for $10900 i know that the 2300 had some problems.  The dealer told me that this is a newer 2300 and a lot of those issues had been addressed he did admit that the 2400 had some upgrades.  Is there any reason that I would regret the 2300 purchase trying to save some money but not at the expense of efficiency( is there a big difference in efficiency?) or future problems.  Thanks for any info you could give me

Central Boiler / Sizing a CB

« on: August 17, 2011, 02:13:05 PM »

Howdy first post been reading up for a while but could not find a similar question.  I am looking at the e classic 1400 and 2400 been getting alot of conflicting information. I have a 175 year old house completely renovated but still not very tight including basement living space its about 2400 sq ft.  Is the 1400 enough to heat my house or do i have to go to the bigger 2400. My other issue is that i am a fireman and work 24 hour shifts and want to get the longest burn possible so my wife is not feeding the unit with wood. I get wood for free and am currently averaging 1200 oil per year. House has baseboard upstairs and radiant heat in the basement slab, eventually i am going to renovate the kitchen and put in radiant heat.  My buddy is in the process of buying a boiler his house is newer and a lot larger he say the 1400 hundred will heat his house no prob.  Any input would be appreciated thanks for the great site.
