post EPA wood boilers
« on: February 12, 2014, 03:46:28 PM »
I currently have a wood boiler. 2001 Aqua-Therm looking to heat attached garage with bonus room so I need a larger boiler. I would like to buy one this year to get a non gasser just wondering what you dealers think ( scott and slim ) who will be around still after the EPA crack down? Thanks

Thats a hard question and none us truly know the answer.  I think portage and main, empyre, Heatmaster, and central should be able to hang until 2020 at least.  Afte that, the question is the same only bigger.....

Johnmn, I think either boiler will be around as both are on the cutting edge and that's what it takes, as you probably have already figured out I do have that one company that I personally do not like because of their tactics, I of course would like to see you land on our B-L series as a conventional but you and you alone are the one to make that decision, I will say that Scott , Yoder and myself are here for the long run and both of our brands are built with off the shelf components, whichever way you go, we will all be there to support your wood burning quest.

Yea that's one thing I like about the BL 2840 is the off the shelf parts. I know a guy that has a optimizer hes had it a few years now and really likes it.

Why not just get a bigger Aqua-Therm?..Nobody really knows whats gone happen..Burning wood is the backbone since the existence of humans..Too much power the EPA has.. Ridiculous

Matty thats not a cool comparison because they very well may come looking for our guns too soon and most of our children don't have the brains to understand what it means.

They wont go door to door, that would take to much man power.  they will just fight it at the source, the manufacturers, there they will offer the states grants and other incentives to help police a federal law.

The big scare is attack on personal freedoms and the downright shame of the matter.  To think you can own land, own trees, but cant burn them to heat your home makes my blood boil

The 2020 regulations will be to the point it will be nearly impossible to afford a *new* Wood burning appliance

Forcing people from energy independence onto the system of depending on someone else


Shewww....  What happened to this land????
