My new EKO 40 arrives tomorrow morning at 10 AM I am pumped. I can't believe I am going to say this, but I am sort of looking forward to cold weather now....weird.....

Congrats You're going to love it. Are you going to do the install yourself? It's a blast.....enjoy your new boiler either way.

One tip - if you don't get the fancy new silcone gasket on your new EKO 40 you may want to call Zenon at New Horizon and get one on order. For $40 or less it might be able save A LOT of complaining if your upper door seal leaks...

Thanks Stee...I am doing the install myself...it is a big install...I have 2000 feet of 1/2 inch pex coming too...I will install that under my floors...I have never done anything like this before, but I am excited to get started....I have no furnace, but rather, electric baseboards, so I have few options other than water baseboards or radiant.....or I guess I could install a furnace. After talking with many people, the radiant seems to be the way to go....I'll keep ya posted on the progress (or lack thereof perhaps)....
