[Greenbuilding] a better boiler

[John Beeson - Sunny Side Up]

Hi all,

I have a friend that wants to replace her 30+yr old oil-based boiler for a Weil 
Mclain WTGO-5.  I feel like there has GOT to be something better for about the 
same price.

Anyone have any thoughts that want to share?

I'm at a loss as to knowing if this piece of equipment is oversized or 
undersized without really getting into it, but I figured I'd ask this group for 
pointers...

Thanks,

John
