Re: Price estimate on New Oil Fired Heating System

I'm not sure about the condensing type. This is a forced hot water
system. Also, te guy mentined that these boilers are desgned to las
for 25 years. Is that true? My coal converted burnham is about 60
years old and would probably last another 10 years

Recently got estimate for boiler replacement:

2 Zoned Heating
Wheil McLean Boiler (Spelling?) with tankless hot water
Remove Old Boiler and Properly Remove Asbestos on old Boiler

Price estimate: $5,500


Does this sound okay?

that sounds like an excellent price, considering the brand quality and
the asbestos removal. is the new boiler the condensing type? they are
way more efficient and this is important considering the lifespan of the
unit. i did the same job at my house in '04 but opted for a baxi (italy)
due to cost. i am way happy with it.
