long time lurker here who has spent a lot of time reading the great info here.
I'm finally making the plunge and have an econoburn 100 on order. My only question (for now) is whther I should have opted for the econoburn 150. The hvac guy I talked to has a 100 and says based on my house and heat calc that the 100 should be plenty, but I'm reading that maybe slightly oversizing might be a good idea. I have a 10yo 2700 sq ft center hall colonial with good insulation. I currently spend about $4000/yr in oil for my hydronic baseboard heat with 2 above grade zones and one small below grade zone (300 sq ft basement). The oil system is rated for about 120000btu. The 100 will go in an outshed 40 feet from house with ecoflex 1", not going to use glycol. I'm going to stub out for future storage option, but not right now. Currently have the trench open and prepped, very excited to get moving but don't want to undersize. Thoughts?
Thank you for any input.
