replacing old oil clunker boiler

ddenny

 what do you guys have for a favorite boiler replacement for an old clunker. If someone wants to replace an old oil fired boiler in a non emergency situation,; what would you choose. and how much less oil would you expect to use. my guess would be a little less than 10% or at best maybe 15%.

       Ocasionally I'll do a boiler replacement and I've always gone with a buderus with a riello burner. what are your favorites.                     thankyou

steam or hot-water?

i'm not sure if it makes a differnce, but can you specify whether you need it for steam or hot-water system?

also specify if you expect it have a tankless coil or indirect set up for DHW?

lastly, you may want to mention how large a boiler you need (based on EDR of connected radiation) ..



 i think all of these things may play into providing a good recommendation.
