Boilers don't seem to last around here for some odd reason. 10 years I think is the norm

Ours? Gas. I don't even think you can buy an oil unit anymore around here. Wood, NG or LPG

based in long island new york........they manufacture both......a furnace heats air, a boiler heats water......both use either fuel

we have a gas fired boiler.

I'm expecting a cheaper fuel bill for years to come.....

Uncle had a boiler. 10 years, had to replace.
Yes water heaters, after 10 years and you're playing with fire.

I bet. 30 year efficiency compared to todays is night and day. But 30 years ago, you only needed a bobby pin to repair it Hahaha
