Thanks for the prompt reply Alan. Seems you think Central is better? I have debated these 2 companies back and forth. Any particular reason that I may not realize? I can still be persuaded to change for the right logic. Thanks.
Did you read the entire thread? If so,after reading,you would still want one? You have the benefit of this site,and the information here.If I had this resource before I ordered mine,rest assured I would not have bought a Shaver! Yes I "saved" 2200 dollars over a central boiler,but trust me,Id been better off not saving it,as Ive had to invest many hours and days working on it and additional money that I shouldnt have had to spend...I think you should run,not walk away from a Shaver unless its dirt cheap.....Also the boiler Central Boiler was going to sell me was the 6048,held 393 gallons of water,Shaver wanted to sell me a 165..held 165 gallons...I went up to a 250 Shaver (230 gallon),and I wish Id went bigger.Had I went with the Shaver 340,which is Shavers biggest,yet still not as big as a CB6048,the cost would have been within 1000 dollars..not much difference... Central boilers recommendation was right on the money for a trouble free OWB experience...as it is even after upsizing the Shaver,I still need to load 2x a day ,sometimes 3 in real cold weather for best performance. So if you settle on a shaver,go up 2 sizes from what they recommend,if they try to sell you a 165-get a 290..,and you'll still wish you went bigger...
