Any Heating Experts? Update --project completed

Anyone know if a Slant/Fin Eutectic EC-10 is a good boiler? Looking at going with the EC-15 with Thermatic Control and a Riello burner. Have a burnham now but it is cracked and the local dealers/installers don't recommend them anymore due to cracking. I have bids for a new system ranging from 8K-15k and have decided to do it myself. I have one bid that is close to 12k with this boiler yet now that I priced the boiler I am wondering what the other 7k is for as I can do it myself for under 5k with all new zone valves, indirect Slant/Fin water heater, pumps, garage unit heater and plumbing. The Boiler itself is $2845 with the Thermatic control, the water heater is $915 and the rest is pumps, unit heater and plumbing.

Is is a good looking unit compared to the old style:

Well I hope it is a good one because I tore the old one out and started installing the new one.

Old one was looking very old:

New one is looking sharp. I even painted the wall

I guess break time is over back to it.......

Gee down here i just open the window when I want heat, no fancy rig with miles and miles of pipe.

Not to mention that it's 94° today


The new one looks much nicer than the old one so it gets pretty points

Keep up the good work

That's what you do to water on the stove before you cook the pasta.
