heating system help!<br/><br/>I Live in a 60 year old 3 bedroom house in Vermont and I am removing my forced hot air system and installing hot water baseboard. I have two floors with a total of approx. 100lf of baseboard. Right now I have a gas water heater. I have been going back and forth on what to put in for a boiler.Some people suggest me getting a boiler for the baseboard and for the domestic hot water get a boiler mate. Other people suggest for me to get a boiler (system 2000?)that has domestic hot water coming off from it (maybe store it into a storage tank). I think the second option is cheaper since the cost of the boilers are about the same but the boiler mate is about $1000. I don't really know what it the best way to go. I was told having the domestic hot water right off the boiler, the boiler will be turning off and on all the time. The cost of this will pay for the boiler mate in just a few years. I don't know what to get. <br/>Goal: Getting a good heating system, as efficient as possible. The way the oil is going up I don't mind paying a little extra for a better system. I also want to make sure I do not run out of hot water. <br/><br/>What do you think I should get. I am going "nuts" here. The web doesn't have much information on this stuff, it must be "TOP SECRET"<br/><br/>
