DRH..
Funny thing.. Fuller is my oil dealer. They sent a guy to the house this morning. His sales pitch was for the same System 2000.
They left me a video, and a price.
( $6400 if I buy before 6/1.. after that $7400)
It does make sense.. He explained that my present system requires that the "boiler" maintains 180 degrees 365 days a year. (That explains the system coming on every 30-45 minuets even when all the theromstats are off).
Frankly, the thing that bothered me was that they have been selling me oil, and servicing this older system for more than 15 years, with never a mention of a more efficient way to heat my home. I've used more than 1400 gallons per year for a home, that sounds like about the same size as yours. (My current system is three zones; he explained that he would need to add a fourth zone to handle the 40 gallon hot water tank)
Thanks for the info. I'm going to look around for other dealers for a "System 2000" type setup. I'll have more than a little problem giving the job to Fuller, without a rather large discount for not having told me about this years ago.
Smitty,
I'll give Phil Cowels a call. Prior to Fuller, I used Stafford. I only left them when Fuller's price for oil, and prebuy programs beat Stafford.

Thanks for the response, but to switch to "gas" would mean propane for me. Everyone I talk to tells me that is way more expensive than oil. But, everyone is sometimes wrong.. I'll check it out!
