I have found a used Tarm OT 35 for a decent price. I currently have an oil fired hot water system and have been using a HI1200 fireplace insert that is just finishing its second season. The insert has cut down on the oil usage but I still use oil for HW and primary heat. I am thinking of picking this Tarm unit up and working with it to heat the house. My goal is to reduce oil usage to a minimal amount. I know this is a 30 year old unit but appears to be in great shape. If I had the money I would prefer an OWB because of the new units efficiency and the ability to use more of the "junk" wood.

Are there members here still using these old Tarm units? If so what are your thoughts on them.

boiler work

The biggest worry and expense for you will be

the problem of finding someone to hydrotest

test the boiler as you must do this before it

is installed as your insurance company will

not cover any losses other wise.
