Came across three of these giant boilers, while trying to find the power to one of my sites. They were very impressive.

    Being from the Midwest it blows my mind that people on the coast still use oil to heat their houses. I can’t imagine how much that costs.

      Yep. Still seeing tanks in use wherever natural gas isn’t piped to directly and where it gets too cold for heat pumps. Oh and lots of wood burning stoves!

      Diesel heat is actually cheaper than electric where I’m at and thats just with me using one of those small forced air diesel heaters.

      Yep here in PA it’s expensive to convert your boiler to a heat pump.
