The MarathonMotor on my hot water heater burner is on its last legs. It is an obsolete motor and a quick look, wthout knowing exactly what model I need, shows me new motorsfor burners are in the hundreds of dollars.
My hot water heater is oil fired and separate from my oil fired furnace. I have thought of changing over to an indirect oil-fired set-up that uses my furnace BUT COSTS ARE RATHER PROHIBITIVE. $1700+
My question:
I can install a GE GEOSPRING 50gallon for $710. Self installation looks pretty straightforward. Does anyone have any thoughts about the GE product? Our household is now down to TWO with to away at college.
Another option, while UNETHICAL, is to get an oil service contract and let it die and let the contract cover the replacement. I am not going to do that but the plumber who attended to the first failure and diagnosed the issue gave me that advice!
All thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
