Need Help in Selecting New Steam Boiler

Paul_82

I am upgrading my Steam Boiler and tankless hot water system. The choises of Manufactures are:

Dunkirk, Empire Steam II Model ESB 3100T 82% A.F.U.E.

Burnham, MegaSteam Model MST396 86% A.F.U.E.

Weil-Mclain, Model SGO-4 84% A.F.U.E.

Can any of you experts out there help me decide which manufacture will give me the "best bang for the buck"

Thank You For Your Time,
Paul K.

Steamhead (in transit)

The only one I'd use

is the MegaSteam. Not only is it more efficient, but also much easier to service.

Nothing else is comparable.Do some research on what happens to flueways above the waterline.

Paul,

make sure you're hiring a good steam guy. The near-boiler piping and the system cleaning after the installation can make or break any steam boiler.

Did you look at a Smith Boiler?

You might want to go to the Smith specifier and enter in the information that can decide which boiler would be best for you. Smith makes a large range of steamers and they have made a quality product for many years.
