I remember reading that article in 2008. I wonder how many of those AA's are still in use.

My uncle has an AA260 he got used from a motel in central Maine. He got it 15 years ago for $1500. He heats a 3500sq. ft. farm house with ease.

I'm sure the boiler is fine, I was just wondering how many people kept using them after the price of fuel went down.

I'm up here in northern Maine with a AHS 130 and burning coal this season, although fuel oil is substantially lower now. I've heard some people burning pellets opting to go with oil this season.
