in THE MAIN WALL
Just wanted to thank you guys for all your input. I sat down with the customers the other day and they have decided to have installed a cast iron non-condesing boiler due to the cost. I sat down with them for over an hour to educate on the cost savings of condensing boilers (I proposed a TT Solo) but I couldnt get them to bite. I have been getting that from most of our customers, maybe its me.
Its frustrating though. Either way we got the work which I huess is the most important thing right now.

    Went with a Burnham SCG, good boiler, preety much what everyone puts in now a days. They understand the concept of condensing boiler very well and appreciated the little classroom session I gave them, its what got me the work, but the money just isnt there to cover the upfront cost.

    Mac, have you put it in yet, did you discuss with them that the

    $1500.00 tax credit pretty much washes out the difference. Make yourself aware of the energy credits as they will makeup the difference. Tim

    I was only aware of the rebate offers in my area. What tax credits can they take advantage of??

    Tax Credt

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on February 17, 2009. Includes Energy Conservation Incentives for homeowners who invest in energy efficiency equipment upgrades. Tax credits available to homeowners include hot water boilers with efficiencies equal to or greater than 90% AFUE placed into service in the taxpayer’s principle home from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010.
