General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / What to do??? EPA regs taking effect
« on: May 09, 2014, 10:52:15 PM »
I'm curious of thoughts since there's guys with EPA approved units and others not and both (usually) swear by whatever they have.
I was wholeheartedly planning on building this summer but the appraisal came back $60k short of what I needed on my 1900 sf new home on 40 acres. With that, my wife and I have decided to wait another year.
I budgeted a Portage and Main BL 2840 ($9000) into the cost of the new home, but since not building, do I buy now or roll the dice with what I can buy next year or two years from now when I actually build???
I have the space to store it. I could go with a cheaper unit like Ridgewood, but that doesn't make enough difference to build a home and I still like how the P&M appear bulletproof. BUT, anything not EPA approved will not be available one year from now!!!!!!!!!
I'm just curious what thoughts are from people on here? I hear rumors of EPA approved units of $12k for smallest square footage. I'm just thinking that paying $9k now will be cheaper than $14k later...
I have to heat 3000 sq ft house, 576 attached garage, and 1200 detached workshop.
Thanks,
Lamont

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Heatmor vs Portage & Main efficiency?
« on: April 01, 2014, 01:16:19 PM »
I've narrowed down my search to a Heatmor 200 CSS and a Portage & Main Ultimizer BL 2840. Both dealers seem good enough guys to deal with, but the Heatmor dealer is 20 miles away and the P&M dealer is about 270 miles away.
My major question between these two units is efficiency? Does the P&M Ultimizer series really burn that much more efficiently, or do I just go with my gut and choose the Heatmor based on feedback and proximity of the dealer? I know guys first hand that have Heatmors without problems and one guy that has had his 200 CSS for 20 years and is ordering another before EPA regulations take effect.
Will the P&M really consume a lot less wood for a 1550 sq ft new home, 24x24 attached garage, and 30x40 shop (all with radiant in-floor tubes in concrete)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
