Of course! in my opinion you should have chosen the Portage and Main Optimizer 250 but what else would you expect from me as a rep. Either one should work well for you and best of luck, THANKS FOR BURNING WOOD!!!!!!

I am in my fist year with mine but I can say I know how hard it is to make the "right" choice I had started my search with 5 different manufactures then by process of elimination I finally chose to go with the  P & M optimizer 250. I have friends with other brands and they all heat, but it is my opinion you get what you pay for. so dont cheap out if you can avoid it especially on the installation. I am 40 years old and plan on heating with wood as long as i am physically able. So even if in 15 or 20 years I do have to replace the boiler I will have all of the supporting stuff in place that will last for years to come. I guess my only suggestion is to do your home work and find a company with a supporting dealer that will be there for you when you need them. Because One thing I can assure you as a new boiler owner, you will need someone to lean on.... And if by chance you are in the Northern New England area SLimJim, is great to help with what ever brand you chose..

This is my 6th winter with the Cozeburn  MS 250. It keeps  my old 2800 square foot farmhouse at 70 degrees all winter. I replaced the fan, other than that no problems. The best money I've ever spent!

You can't possibly buy an Empyre, you didn't even spell it right, just kidding, you do what you need to do, just burn wood
