Central Boiler / looking to buy a E 1450

« on: November 27, 2013, 02:07:13 PM »

 Hello everyone, I'm new to forum and i was looking to buy an OWB. i shortlisted heatmaster and CB. as i live in Indiana and have to follow the EPA II guidelines the only heatmaster i can buy are the G100 and the G200, my dealer has neither sold any or has info on either of them. Now I'm leaning towards a E1450. i have heard the pros and cons of this particular model but price wise they are way too expensive as compared to classic models and don't know if they are going to last that long to give my ROI. Do you think $16K for a fully installed E1450 by the dealer is reasonable or is it way too high? According to my calculations to recuperate $16K i'll have to use it at least 10 yrs trouble free and that sounds a bit too long. Any inputs and any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

HeatMaster / new to forum and in market for a heatmaster

« on: November 26, 2013, 09:03:14 PM »

Hello everyone, new to forum from southern Indiana. i want to buy a OWB and been doing some research online and talking to people in this area about OWB. Most of the folks around here have an hardy, but the people on forestryforum seem to like CB. this is the only forum where i see that people also like headmaster. i have a dealer close by for the heatmaster but when i went to see him he adviced against any E series or G series..and said don't waste money on those and just go with a MF5000. i see a lot of posts for the E series and G where people say it uses less wood and is a lot more efficient than the regular furnaces.. so kinda confused. The closest CB dealer is 50 miles away so maybe ill have to go see him to see what he gotta offer. Im heating a 40yr old brick house with decent insulation about  2800sq.ft and a outside metal barn 1000sq.ft. any inputs and help will be greatly appreciated..or i'll just go to a different headmaster dealer and see what he has to say about the E and G series.
thanks for the long post
