I want to put an Econonburn 150 into the basement and need some advice on how to safely do this. Access to the basement is through a 48" wide masonry stairway that descends through a cover porch. I will have to take off the fan cover an front doors to assure enough clearance (which will remove some weight) but this baby will still be quite heavy. I will build a wood frame around th boiler to protect it druing the move and help it slide down the stairs. Then I have to get it on its side, get it on the porch, glide it to the stairs, and some how winch it down. I expect many you have a similar or more difficult situation. In any case any advice or past experience would be appreciated.
One other thing, as a backup, I did find a mover who would do it for $380 using four guys and an appliance dolly. He said it is similar to moving a gun safe which can weigh upto 1600 lbs. Although it would be interesting to see how four guys can achieve this I rather not part with money uncessarily.
