Help: New Oil-Fired Boiler Advice

barryg1
11 years ago

Hi - My 27 yr old boiler is done. Need to get a new oil-fired hot water boiler. It is feeding a superstor water heater - and forced hot water combo baseboard and radiators for about 2200 sqft. Recommendations on brands? Energy company quoted me Burnham MPOIQ-115 Cast Iron with Beckett NX Burner. Is that a good model? Better brands or models? Things I should look for. Not afraid to put a few extra dollars in something that hopefully will last for decades. Any advice would be very much appreciated?

THANKS!!
