Hello all,
I have a Munchkin M140 that has reached the end of it's life. While It could be repaired, there are many more reasons to replace than repair. This little boiler has been doing a great job for 17 years. It's had a handful of repairs, but nothing terrible. For the replacement, I've had three different contractors come in and each has a preferred manufacture. So far they are:
Wells-Mclain ECO Tec 150
Bosch Greenstar 151
Navian NHB-150
A this point, I think I'm going to pass on the Well-McClain, not because of the product, but rather the provider. That leaves me with the Bosch and Navian products. I believe they are both good industry leaders. Anything I should be aware of from either? They both also offer a hot water option, I've considered it, but will probably pass unless someone can convince me otherwise. My current hot water heater is only a couple years old and is functioning fine. The configuration works.
If anyone can provide any insight on either of these boilers I'd appreciate it. Things I need to look out for, reliability etc... My house is roughly 5000 sq ft of in floor radiate heat.
FYI: This is not a DIY, I'm tired of being my own Munchkin repair man. This will be a 100% contractor install and maintain.
Thank you
