Well the wife and I have finally agreed on building a new house. A few of you may remember that I had a Central Boiler unit in the old house. I am rethinking things now, as I have managed to get some more education since my first install. I am leaning towards the Portage and Main line, specifically a bl34-44 model. New house will be 2150 sq. ft, 9' side walls, full basement with 9' walls, basement will have infloor hydronic heat tubes, garage 12 sq. ft., 10' side walls, forced air heat exchanger in this part, garage will have prestressed concrete so I will have a 1200 sq. ft., shop area under main garage with in flow heat as well. I wasn't that thrilled with the whole DHW thing on my other unit and I will probably leave that out. Upper eastern Iowa winters for info as well. Looking at the possibility of adding extra thermal storage in the shop area, but not excited about having to downsize that area anymore. What do you guys think for pro's & con's of the Portage and Main? What are some other suggestions, with some pro's and con's? I am going to get this going before the new EPA regs take effect, providing they really do. My main reasons for going this route is I can do they install and the basic costs. I know that in less than 3 years I will have a payback from the propane savings. Thanks!
