Consolidating 2 oil burners to 1?
I hope this is the correct forum to post my question. I have two oil burners in the basement. One for hot water and one for heat. I am considering replacing them with a new system that use only one oil burner. Is there any particular brand or technology I should look for? Thanks!

I don't see any reason to have two seperate burners as long as one does the job and does it efficiently. However, if you're going to bother replacing equipment, wouldn't it be worth while to look at other heating options besides oil?

Using a combo oil burner. Water & Heat.
We are using a really old HS Tarm boiler and now that oil prices are high and getting higher,
I'm thinking that my hotwater shouldn't be using oil at all. During mild weather, we use the Sanyo mini-split (ASHP) for space heating. But, when the temps get down under 10 or 15 degrees F, I have to use some oil.. This winter has been especially cold. Using way too much oil now. |
