Overkill?

in THE MAIN WALL
Hi All,

I need to drain my heating system in order to perform some repairs to the piping.



I thought it would be a good opportunity to swap out a 5 year old ( still working) TACO 007

for a WILO ECO circulator.



I have but one zone on a diverter T system. Would the WILO be overkill? I'm pretty sure I will not recoup the energy cost over the life of the WILO.



How can I rationalize the added expense just because it would be a convenient time to make the change ?



TIA, Roland...........

    Do you wait?

    For incandescent light bulbs to die before replacing with CFL? An ECM circ will use at worst 50% of the power as a standard circ,if the 007 lasted another 5 years,it would have wasted more than 1/2 the cost of the ECM
