: : I just got a quote from my plumber for a gas boiler replacement. (my current boiler is over 30 years old and has a winter/summer hook-up? - no hot water heater). We have baseboards throughout and use natural gas. We live in suburban Philadelphia.
: : My plumber has advised and quoted the Weil-McLean Model CG - 6 Gas Boiler along with an Amtrol 41 gallon Boiler Mate. The quote also includes several valves and several digital thermostats (I don't have the quote in front of me so I don't know the specifics). He has quoted $5900 for the job.
: : I generally trust my plumber (who we have been dealing with for several years) and do not normally get competitive bids but the cost seems a bit high.
: : I am looking for feedback on two things:
: : 1) Does the price seem reasonable?
: : 2) Are there any other HIGH EFFICIENCY (greater than the Weil McLean which has an 83 or so rating) gas boilers that we should be considering
: : Thanks in advance for any and all comments!!
