The post that was quoted here has been removedWhat is a condensing oil burner? I took a little different route. I have an EFM oil furnace. (Local Pennsylvania outfit) I found a company in Ohio that makes a 'gas conversion burner'. The way oil burners work at least here in the US is you have a box that has a chamber for flame to be in then the resultant heat is channeled through a matrix of pipes that heat water. The actual burner is a box that plugs into the burning chamber held in place by a few bolts. The company in Ohio designed an exact replacement for that burner that fits right in place of the oil one but the new one runs on natural gas. It cost me about 1500 bucks for the unit plus the plumber to plumb gas lines in. Saves maybe 30 to 40 percent in heating bills. At least for now, gas prices are due to go up also but in the meantime.....
-Removed-That's the biggest load of cobblers, the independent published figures based on an impossible factory sized system..it's 24yrs on a £16K system ...solar panels an eyesore, they look like a group of windows on my roof, skylights.. The only guy to object lives 100yrds away, a genuine 'windbag' who was just brassed off that he missed the grant !! Wind turbines most definitely and certainly in your neck of the woods they are an appalling blight but hands off my panels 😀
-Removed-No, I think it fair to say without the grant they are more the important considerations for the 'idle greens', and perhaps a topic of conversation for their kids once they are back from Eton for the summer break 😉
To be frank, without the grant, I wouldn't have explored the possibility of storing 24hr energy from their use...and the grants have brought green issues to those that really wouldn't care OR perhaps they still don;t care as the long as the electricity is free 😛
