Anyone have experience with using one of these with an OWB? Thinking about using one......

I want to use one of their sister units with dual exchangers.  They look to be good quality.

They do look like it.  Talked to a guy locally who installs and services commercial and residential boilers.  He told me about them.  Said they are good units.  All honeywell parts so easily available.

I like the dual unit too.....until I saw the price!  $2000 for that bad boy.  Not sure how much the heating only is.  I haven't been able to find it online anywhere.  Going to call the rep Monday and see.

Different manufacturer but price sounds like it is less.

Not a bad little furnace.  A little more in the price range I was looking for too.  Still like the First Co features a little better though.

Those are nice units, variable speed is good . Lots of options , similar to multi stage furnaces. I like having a slow moving comfortable air always keeping house toasty. Versus hot blowing air with on off cycles which makes hot and cold spots.
