Hi All. I just wanted to get some feedback from anyone who has a classic 560 edge.
To start with a little background on me and my experience with the classic wood boilers. I owned a 2011 classic 1400 biggest piece of crap I have ever bought. With that said I was hesitant to look at another classic boiler. With Efficiency Maine paying a third of the cost of a new boiler I was all in. started looking at the classic edge titanium line. All stainless steel firebox with removable air tubes and they say it runs at 91 percent efficient. 91 percent (Not so sure about that?).
Well, I bought an Edge titanium 560 in September and have been running it since the third week in September. I live on 14 acers and cut all my own wood. I am burning Oak, Beech, maple, and Birch. The wood I am burning this year was cut down one and a half years ago. 14 percent dry on my meter. I am heating 2,800 square feet of space that includes a 28 X 32 garage with in floor radiant heat. (The house was built in 2001). This past week has been the big test for me with the temps down to teens at night and thirty during the day time I am extremely impressed with the performance I am getting. I am loading the firebox once every 24 hours. I am only loading it three quarters full and my fan run time is 4.5 hours. The only negative I have to say about this boiler is cleaning. I am getting a lot of creosote buildup around the air tubes making it hard to remove them to clean. I guess if you are burning wood you’re going to get creosote.
I am posting this to see if anyone else is experiencing the same burn time that I am.
