I am considering purchasing a used Tarm Excel 2200 wood/oil boiler. The boiler is relatively local to me and was purchased in 2008. It wasn't installed in the home until 2011 due to various setbacks during construction of the home. The owner didn't have any wood and ran solely on the oil for the season. The inside of the combustion chamber/refractory prove this clearly as they are BRAND NEW. I checked Tarm's warranty, and it looks like it only applies to the original owner/installation. The seller says he just isn't home enough to use a wood boiler. The plumber that did the install promised him 1 wire/week to heat his large house in the Northeast (scammer). He is looking to install just a normal oil boiler with a wood stove to supplement when he is home. Tarm is out of production on this model, and doesn't seem to offer an alternative. He claims he paid $14k for the boiler, and from what I can find of historic price sheets that seems feasible.
So, the bottom line: what is this boiler worth?
