I currently have a oil boiler for backup thats getting old and its the kind that is soposed to be kept hot (not an on demand type) and my system is set up to not to circulate through the oil boiler when heating on the wood boiler so Ive been looking for a replacement, and non oil if possible (we have propane for the stove and want to get rid of the oil tank).
I found this unit for sale used.
Teledyne Laars
Gas fired hot water boiler
Natural Gas 125,000 BTU
Can be converted to propane
Hot Stow 40 gallon hot water tank
Heat exchange coil
Also comes with 2 circulators Taco 0012 & 008
Smoke stack, expansion tank, coin op bleeder valve, fittings with shut off, safe guard low water cut off & back flow preventer with auto fill.
Can be used for heat with just boiler or just hot water with boiler, tank and 1 circulator or a domestic heat and hot water with tank, boiler & both circulators.
System is in like new condition, Safe and energy efficient. $1,200 FIRM
My questions are:
What is involved in getting a boiler converted from natural to propane?
Will a gas company convert it for me willingly?
Anyone know anything about Teledyne Laars boilers? IE is is an ondemand unit, are they efficiant/reliable?
Will a gas company hook my gas line up to it if I install it?
Unit looks in excellent condition and it comes with a Hot Stow 40gal indirect DHW tank and misc parts for $1200. Sounds like a good price if it can be converted and not to expensively.
Thanks
