True, but as I see it, the value can be arrived upon the sale of the
home as an incentive..so either way it would 'increase' the sale of
the home. Pushing 80, 12 years to cash in on its payback is non
descriptive. With the latest fiasco on todays market, who knows how
long it would take to sell, and should I so call benefit while living
there? Interesting, no one as yet has answered the gist of my
op....how does one find the age of such boilers?
