What do you think of the system 2000, what I read is good, is this
just a regular system with HW tank.

Mark, I talked to a dealer about them today. *He's putting in about 40 a
year for the past few years. *He also said that he does not know of anyone
that has saved less than 25% on oil with one compared to a conventional
boiler. *Most were about 30%.

One dealer quoted $7400 for the Buderus with hot water tank, this guy quoted
$7650 for the same type of setup with the System 2000.

I have to dig out the oil bills. *I used 230 gallons from April to October,
a total of 5 1/2 months, with little of it for heating.
Total is about 850 gallons a year. *I should be able to save over 200
gallons or $600 a year. *Not a great payback, but still pretty good.
Something to think about.

Its good you have the option and forsight to reseasrch everything, I
guess usualy they go bad and leak and you are at the installers mercy
of what he recomends or is in stock. I looked a little at the 2000 and
I see it shuts down fire first to circulate heat but I wonder if other
new stuff is not just as good, their advertisment seems a bit
optimistic even stating they outdo condensing units. That condensing
Buderus with a similar tank seems like its worth more research, I
would think controlls are standard stuff. Either way you will find
what right and save.
