Looking for heating-installer/service tech experience and or recommendations based upon your experience with these two manufacturers of boilers for our home:
1. Burnham
2. New Yorker
(BOTH brands are now owned by Burnham... and I think both are manufactured in Lancaster, PA.)
ALSO - we told the heating people giving us bids, that we do NOT need a high-efficiency wall-hanger unit... our house is small and well insulated - therefore it does not cost us a ton of money to heat it.
AND....
Is a cast iron boiler better than a steel boiler? (We are leaning toward cast iron because our current boiler is cast iron... and it has been in our home and worked well for a lonnnggggg time - one guy said it was likely installed in the 1960's. And we have lived here over 35 years and the old boiler has worked well all those years... it only needed a pump replaced twice in all the time we've lived here.)
Thanks if you have knowledge you can share!!
