Home Heating Question

Looking at replacing my home's heating-oil fed boiler. One vendor wants to install a weil-mclane boiler with a beckett burner. Another wants to install a Buderis boiler with a Riallo burner (I've never heard of these 2 brands). Any advice on these or other brands will be greatly appreciated.

They are both good burners. The Beckett is a more common burner. The Relio is an Italian made burner that not everyone stocks parts for. I've never heard of or installed a Buderis boiler. Between the two I'd say go with the weil mclain. Another good choice would be a Burnham.

My ten year old Weil Mclain is a great boiler, and Becket burners are pretty bullet proof, installers standard here

Burnham, Peerless, and Crown are all boilers my family have and they seem very reliable too

Whats wrong with your old one ? and what kind is it ?

my old one is a new york and I believe it's about 32 years old. It's rusting out and the guys that service it every year have been patching it up when they work on it

I've had a Buderus Boiler for several years now and never had a problems with it.

While not a household name in the US, it's a well known German company with 275 years of experience.
