Good morning everyone! First time homeowner here about to move in and got a pretty good scare this week.
First a little info about my place. I recently bought a forclosure home in my dream neihbourhood on 6 acres of of treed land (even got a little pond!!) The house was built in 74 and was about 2200 sqft. total. rancher with a walk out basement. All electric heat!.. It gets better!! in 1990 the owner added a 2000 sqft indoor pool room! which ended up getting covered and a subfloor installed. This was heated with an electric furnace but he turned off the furnace and added a gas stove ( looks like a small wood stove but uses gas) Then he just has the furnace ducts for the pool room placed over top of the stove with little fans drawing the air into ducts.......its like a car wreck you cant stop staring at. We went to the gas and electric companies to set up our accounts and found out he was paying 500$ a month between the two. Probably the reason he lost the house. SOOOOOoooooo.... 4200 sq ft total , 75 gallon ELECTRIC hot water tank . smaller detached double garage with 3rd bay for storage. The pool room has about 15ft ceilings, we bought it because our son has cerebral palsy so this will be a great therapy room with no stairs for him to deal with. Im a pretty handy guy so i know i can deal with the owb like a g200 and we have the wood, What are your thoughts on this boiler for my scenario? I was also looking at the porter and main optimizer 250. I really dont want to bother my neihbors with smoke and my local dealer has been talking up the g200 and is willing to sell it for 9000$ canadian. We get temps down to -35 sometimes. Hes got the install priced at 10000 and says a big chunk of that is for glycol to keep the water from freezing .Any thoughts or suggestions!?
