OT New oil burner question

cudavid | Posted in General Discussion on

Ok NOT a wood burning boiler, oil so  definitely OT!

IS a Weil Mclain hot water boiler, model WT60-5 w/ a Beckett burner  a very good setup? I do not need a top of the line however a high quality is the goal,

Thanks, work safe,

Dave

    Bump.

    Can't comment on Weil McClain boiler except that I have heard of them with generally favorable reviews and see a number of them in homes I work in.

    Beckett oil gun - have owned two homes, both with Beckett guns, nozzles changed yearly as PM - never a problem.

    Never underestimate the value of a sharp pencil or good light.
