Can't beat natual gas for heat cost. And no cleaning the gas boiler, oil fired boilers cost approximately $150.00 bucks a year for cleaning or more. All i have to do with my gas boiler is put a couple of drops of oil once or twice a year and I leave the 3 in1 on the super storer next to the boiler for a reminder.

Since these new boilers do not throw off heat you may want to add some heat to the basement. One way is if you have forced hot water you can add a length or two of the fin tube to any long length of copper tubing heating tube in the basement, may avoid frozen water pipes in the basement. You are not using anymore gas.
