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.
