   New Oil Boiler Recommendations .   
   Seeking advice on installing a new oil burner.   
      
   Current Boiler is a Thermo-Dynamics S100 with a Beckett head which is all   
   about 20 years old, still running fine at the moment and has served me   
   well.   
   The house is about 1500 sq ft and has 3 zones.   
   First/second/basement and is all hot water baseboard.   
   So as I approach retirement, I'm looking at possible future expenses on a   
   fixed income.   
   My fuel/burner service company is recommending an Energy Kinetics System   
   2000 boiler.   
   TBH this thing looks to me like an overly, computerized, complex system   
   which will require some expensive care and feeding.   
   It is however very efficient from what I am reading so I will save on fuel   
   cost which of course I am interested in.   
      
   I'm old school from the Weil-Mclain,  Rheem, era so I admit I'm a little   
   behind the times.   
   Also, the current boiler is tankless coil and my wife and I have no need   
   for a sperate hot water heater.   
      
   So, any and all advice is very much appreciated.   
   I'm in NYS if that matters and gas is not an option where I live.
