Boilers/furnace - tankless or tank?

[RIJIMMY]

I've had 4 quotes over the last month. Seems like all I do is talk boilers.

Bob 5/0 - thanks for the offer, we have a bunch of guys neighbors had reffered to us so we are all set.

So far, I like the Energy Kinetics System 2000 over the Buderus set up. Im still waiting for the quote on the Buderus set up so not sure what the $ difference is. I am also adding in the programmable thermostats to gain some more efficiency. Thanks to all for the advice !

Jim, you talking about putting a programmable on the water heater?
I have to replace my 11 year old stand alone gas 40 gal tank this year, what do people suggest?

Jimmy,
Programmable t-stats are great,don't get carried away thinking thoughts of grainger with turnning you heat whaaaaay down when you sleepiong of when not home.You will not save $$$ do not go more than 5 degree increments when in un-occupied mode or when sleeping night time setting mode anything more than this will defeat the of economical aspect of the t-stat.

Will do, I'm thinking it will be 64 for wake time and 60 for sleep. Thats basically what I do now, just manually. The house gets a ton of sun, so its sually pretty warm during the day.
Thanks again!
