Looking at an older heatmaster 10000 are they any good or is the e model that much better?
-
Heatmaster claims a 30% reduction in wood consumption going from the standard model to the E model. I looked at both before I purchased the E. I figured it definitely wouldn't hurt. If you're looking at a used stove, make sure you weigh the costs/benefits of not having a warranty. The warranty only covers the original owner. If you get a whale of a deal, that may justify it. Also, make sure you find out why they are selling it.

warranty's are transferable if you have a dealer inspect the boiler.

Wow! Didn't know that Mr. Yoder! I must have read that on another manufacturer and assumed it was industry standard! Another reason HM stands out in this industry! Thanks for correcting!

Scott go onto the dealer section of heatmasters website and you can print off the form. They charge a fee to transfer the warranty and it has to be inspected by a dealer.

Can i ask how old is the stove and how much?
-
Think 6 years old for 4500
-
I'm thinking that is a bit too high. That's really just half price. For me to take a 6 year old stove, I'd be looking at less than $3,000. But, that's just my gut. I don't have a whole lot of experience buying used stoves. I'm sure Scott and Yoder have more experience with that. Of course this is assuming pristine condition.
-
Sounds like an average price for what it is to me. I watch Craigslist a lot for used boilers. Range is typically 3500-8000
-
That's sounds a little high to me. I am sure cash in hand will get you a better deal but I would make sure I have somebody inspect it before I bought it.

New price on a regular MF10,000 is $7,900. On trade ins I normally figure $500 off just from firing one up and then about 10% less for every year over the first few years on the furnace. For a 6 year old MF10,000 in good shape I would probably do $3,000 on trade in. Of course then I would make money when I sell it so buying direct from the owner I would expect to pay more. I would say somewhere between $3,500 to $4,500 would be a fair price depending on condition.

Somewhere on the unit there should be a sticker with the manufactured date. That would give you a good idea of what it's worth.
