For a little back ground. My wife and I just got married and bought our first house last year in june, in UP UP State NY. The house came with an ancient outdoor boiler and a forced air #2 fuel basement furnace. I hate forced air so I only have used it when we have need to leave the house over night. So not knowing how much wood I would need to heat the house this winter I cut and split X amount of wood and we started heating our house with the 1970's era boiler. Needless to say more heat went out the chimney then was transfered to the water and around Dec I was going to need more wood. Which is no problem living where we are. But I had been talking to a friend who burns corn and long story short I bought a corn boiler which I am currently am using and am about to sell because for personal reasons I dont like it.
So I have been looking at oil/wood indoor boilers. Which would be perfect for us because I work out of town some times up to 3 weeks and my wife is originally from MD and likes to visit her family when ever she can. Which leaves our house unattended for 3-4 days at a time.
I currently run my corn boiler at about 90-100k btu's. What are some good units that I should look at other then Tarm? Unfortunatly since we are just married and I am putting her through Dental Hygene school we dont have tons of money just laying around, about $2500 give or take a couple hundred is our budget.
Thanks
