Could someone kindly recommend a good boiler for a residence?
(Hot water baseboard.) Looking for high reliability, and willing to
sacrifice some efficiency for greater reliability, if that makes
sense.
Help very much appreciated. Thanks.

As with ANY installation, the brand is only as good as the installer. Get 3
different contractors to give you a QUOTE (not an estimate) and go from
there. Ask your friends and neighbors who they would use OR what brand THEY
have and whether or not they are happy with it.

I could name some brands that I have installed:

Weil McLain
Burnham
Columbia
Trianco
Buderus
Vaillant

If it were my house: If I had the money - Buderus. If I wanted a real
workhorse - Weil McLain.

Again, those are just the ones that I have installed and it's not fair to
the other brands. YMMV

Weil McClain

Best I ever had, so far.

Baseboard Heat.

Beach House aprox. 80-90 years old.

Very little Maintenance, so far.

Boiler in place over 10 years.

Newer ones may be better, but the one I have, I am satisfied with.
