Just wondering if anyone has any experience of these boilers? I'm looking to replace my oil fired warm air furnace that heats our house.

The government here in the UK want to pay me to change. The level of payment is 9p per kw/hour. That means with a 25kw vigas boiler they will pay me £2.25, or $3.60, for every hour I run the boiler. Reckoning on heating 12 hours a day for 6 months of the year I reckon that is £4860, or $7800, a year. The deal is linked to inflation and payable for 15 years.

Be stupid not to take their money to burn my wood, wouldn't it?
