I'm considering either a Buduerus or Crown Boiler.

I don't have hard quotes, but ball park is $7000 to $7500 for boiler and
indirect water heater. *Efficiency is 86% so I'll be saving a bit over

that is incorrect, the payback is very long at $3 a gallon.

Comments welcome.

Why not a 92%+ condensing boiler.
